00:00Hello, nice to see you, how are you doing?
00:04Hi, nice to meet you.
00:06You must be John Healy.
00:08First year, sir.
00:10How are you?
00:12Nice to meet you.
00:14Good to see you again, how are you?
00:16Did you know from a young age that you wanted to do manufacturing, engineering, welding, whatever it is?
00:22I always wanted to do trade, but I never really thought about it because my parents own a restaurant, so I was always grown up in hospitality.
00:29So you decided, I'm going to do trade.
00:31Yeah, I wanted to help the community in a better way by building something.
00:35I didn't want to sit behind an office and just go day by day.
00:38That's the great thing about working with your hands and making things.
00:41Every single bit, and this is what we're all doing at the same time, every single bit, every bit of kit has to absolutely be on money.
00:49Making is part of the bigger thing, nothing is, nothing works in a separate industry.
01:00Did you go off the edge, did you?
01:02We went off the edge.
01:04Is there a colour for that?
01:06Going too fast around the corner.
01:08They've all been rewarded for their efforts in Science Week by coming to do Roving Robots.
01:14Fantastic.
01:15So have you all done really well in Science Week?
01:17Yeah.
01:18Do you like Science Week?
01:19Yeah.
01:20What's the best bit?
01:21Building stuff.
01:23Building stuff.
01:24Anything else?
01:25Programming stuff.
01:26Programming.
01:28What else?
01:30This is pretty good.
01:37So you've got to be really careful with that.
01:42You had a what?
01:43A leaf blower.
01:44A leaf blower? That's a bigger hair dryer.
01:47That is a big, big bad wolf.
