“We create useless things!”
A world of boundless possibilities revealed by the geeky engineering collective "Geekble."
A future engineer who has to disassemble a machine to feel satisfied.
A must-read for car enthusiasts who are obsessed with cars!

Geekble, a science and engineering content startup, dreams of a world where everyone can enjoy science and engineering as a game, and produces fun science experiments and invention content.
Their content is full of challenges that others might call useless, such as charging an electric car with batteries, launching a chicken into space, and building a robot dog that eats and poops.
But Geekble says:
“There is no such thing as a useless challenge!” Even if others say it is useless, if you try making it and change your perspective, it will eventually become useful.
Everyone is full of curiosity during childhood.
'Why does this happen?' 'How on earth does a vacuum cleaner work?' But as time goes by, we live in accordance with reality.
We are pushed by the voices of the world telling us to live according to reality, such as, “What we like is different from reality,” and “Stop wondering about useless things and start studying.”
Is it really impossible to make a living doing what I love? Is it impossible to do it out of a simple curiosity? No.
We are the makers of our lives.
I can create my own work by trying out different things, fixing them, and reassembling them in the direction I want to create.
This book tells the story of Geekble, who took the first step into the world of possibility.
This book will empower young people to enter a world of endless possibilities.

What we create doesn't have to be grand.
Success doesn't have to be flashy and fancy.
Even small achievements can lead to big changes if accumulated.
Rather than obsessing over success and perfection, Geekble aims to grow by enjoying free challenges and failures.
Doing things that no one else wants to do, and trying to change the world a little bit just in case.

Geekble's slogan is "We make useless things," but when I think about it, nothing in the world is useless.
Even a water skipping machine has its use as a water skipping machine.
Of course, humans can do most things themselves.
But in the movie Star Wars, there is a carrier robot that automatically follows people at the airport.
I wonder if it's really necessary, but if you automate a carrier that can be moved by hand, it has a function anyway.
Is it useless or useful? There's no right answer.
So we just make it.
Once you create something that comes to mind, its usefulness will naturally find its way to someone who needs it.

Should something you love be just a hobby? Looking around these days, I feel like there's a significant decline in the number of people who truly put their heart and soul into something.
Even if you have something you like, you may think of it as separate from your work, or you may not be able to delve deeper into it because you are worried about whether what you like will be 'medicine' or 'poison' for your future.
You might think, "What's the point of just having fun when you can study hard to get into a good university and earn money to live?"
But I'm convinced that if you really love any field in this world and put your heart into it, you'll eventually find a point where you can make money doing what you love.
--- p.47 From "Chapter 2: Let's Make It!"

Geekbles are people who look at the world through the filters of science and engineering.
There are countless perspectives and methods for reading and understanding the world, but I want to share with many people the fact that science and engineering are sometimes strange, yet truly fascinating topics.
It's exciting to think about how the world might change if more people were to scientifically express and challenge their ideas.
--- p.64 From "Chapter 2: Let's Make It!"

While makers often work alone, they can also gain a lot from their colleagues.
Having colleagues also means that there are many different perspectives.
When I share my thoughts with colleagues, I sometimes find that someone else sees and talks about things I don't, or that something I thought was right isn't right.
The great advantage and fun of putting our heads together and sharing opinions is that we can discover and awaken new things as many stories come and go.

But when I joined the robotics club in my second year and started doing activities outside of my department classes, I felt like a new path was opening up.
It was clear that it wasn't going to be a smooth road like the one I had been preparing for, but somehow I kept getting more and more interested.
Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Just because I chose this major, does it mean I should follow the safe path of others? I haven't even properly explored my aptitude yet, so wouldn't that be prematurely shutting out life's diverse possibilities?
--- p.113 From “Chapter 4: The Geeks Gathered at Geekble”

Of course, higher education at a university is necessary.
However, since college is not a goal in itself, but a place to receive education for a certain job afterward, I think that each person should be able to choose according to their needs.
If all students focus solely on the consistent goal of college admission, wouldn't they be closing off a layer of infinite potential? It would be a shame to be swayed by societal stereotypes and shut out your potential simply because you didn't graduate from college.
You should be free and open, not letting anyone set your limits.

I was originally a subscriber to the Geekble channel.
Watching Geekble's videos, I was really impressed by the way the makers were able to create sketches that could only be imagined in real life, and the joy and happiness felt as if they were being conveyed directly through the way they completed and demonstrated their work.
It was fun just watching, but sometimes I tried to create my own work in a different way than the makers in the videos.
Sometimes, I secretly nurtured my dream of becoming a maker while coming up with more fun and unique ideas.
--- p.146 From "Chapter 4: The Geeks Gathered at Geekble"

What I and all the makers at Geekble have in common is that, after all, you can be most passionate when you find something you truly love.
It's fun, but am I good at it? It seems like something I'd enjoy, but is it really worth pursuing? As you struggle through these struggles, you'll eventually find your way to something you find compelling.
In fact, among the makers, there are some who, for practical reasons, worked at other jobs and then, by chance, ended up joining Geekble.
-- p.160 From "Chapter 5: If it's a giggle, you can do it"

You don't have to be a great, perfect person, or an expert in your field.
What if we just remember that when something looks fun, taking on the challenge without being afraid is a happy thing that releases dopamine into our lives?
You'll find that it doesn't take much determination to take on a challenge you've never tried before.
