Ashwini Ranjithabalan from Women in Engineering and IT at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) sees engineering as the business of solving future problems.

What are some of the challenges we (and our societies) might face in the future?

Get some friends together and see if you can brainstorm a list. Now choose one of the challenges from your list and use your collective creativity to imagine some solutions. As a group, choose one of your solutions and draw or build a model to help explain your idea.
