 Many of you know James Hobson from his wildly popular YouTube channel Hacksmith Industries. James has a degree in mechanical systems engineering and runs Hacksmith Industries, a company he founded that takes fictional ideas from comics, movies and video games and makes real working prototypes as a way to inspire youth around the world into STEAM fields. A few of the amazing projects he and his team have completed over the years include a working Ironman helmet with heads up display, a half scale Tesla Cybertruck, a functioning light saber, Wolverine claws, Thor’s hammer, an electromagnetic arm bracer for a Captain America shield, and a Batman grappling hook gun…this is not an exhaustive list and there are plenty of other projects I encourage our listeners to check out on his YouTube channel Hacksmith Industries
