Getting Started with Mechanical Engineering

Since there was one for mechatronics and I am jealous of the responses it got, I wonder what sort of projects might be fun and useful for prospective mechanical engineers to give a go before starting University and maybe to create a talking point at interviews.

Any suggestions? :biggrin:
