Four Questions for a ... Robot Maker Glad to choose the robot maker as my job. I'm on the road with those creative children. —Kelsey Derringer ·Do you always want to work with robots? No—I was an English teacher! I started working in an after-school club for girls and learnt to make robots along with the children. And I became interested in it. ·What made you keep going with robots? The girls in my club were excited about the robot. They liked it even better than lovely toys. I liked seeing the girls make new robots. I loved seeing their smiling faces. That made me decide to be with them. ·What do you like about your job? Everything. I make robots with my team and we check our robots again and again to see how they work. We also give robot shows online and share our ideas together with the robot fans. Putting a show needs lots of work, but we have fun and learn to believe in ourselves. ·Do you believe that your robots can change the world? In fact, I think robots can change the children's world. The children work with their friends, doing something they like and knowing they are great enough to change the world. |
