Hey, it's Nate from Design Squad Nation.
We had a question from Emma, who wanted to know if I build everyday things or if I also build out-of-the-ordinary things.
Well, the answer is both.
I've gotten to build some really cool out-of-the-ordinary things.
Like, for instance, the Atlas Power Ascender, which is a device that almost gives you superhuman capabilities, like the ability to run up a wall.
But I also get to build ordinary, everyday things.
I had a little challenge to solve at home, where I wanted to put a screen on the door, but around the door was metal and not wood.
So I couldn't just drive a nail in.
So, rather than try to drive a nail into the metal, instead, we used magnets.
So now we can open and close the screen door.
Thanks for your question, Emma.
And if you have any more questions out there, bring them into the Design Squad Nation website.
