With the invention of smartphones and the latest generation of consoles – video games are reaching more people than ever. And it’s an industry which continues to grow, thanks to the brilliant minds of engineers.

Chris Van der Kuyl co-founder and chairman of 4J Studios, tells us how his team helped bring one of the world’s biggest video games, Minecraft, to the masses. He explores the link between video game creation and engineering and tells us what to expect from the future of the gaming industry.

We also hear from Jeremiah Ohenhen who’s studying mechanical engineering at Ulster University in Belfast who’s been working on the “careful kettle” proto type for the If You Were An Engineer competition. 

Thanks to Niamh from Westfield School for sharing her engineering idea with us.
