September 28, 2021By FIRST Staff
In this installment, we learn how two Mattel toy designers and a FIRST student are using their design and engineering skills to bring Star Wars characters to life. Mattel toy designers Ed Duncan and Denise Wong share how they built their dream careers around their creative passions and the incredible work that went into developing the Grogu Plush Toy. We also meet with Matthew, a FIRST robotics student from the Athenian Robotics Collective team, whose love for engineering and practical effects inspires him to create his own Star Wars models and animatronics.
