      I would like to build a model of a ribosome, the machinery inside cells that makes proteins for two reasons.

      Firstly, models like this are fun to use and really useful in explaining things to people at Science festivals and the like. Secondly its a fun challenge to build them in the first place, you need to find the right materials and design which can be an interesting problem to solve.
