Even at 97, one can get a real charge!

 I know I am an old fart.  But, it is hard for me to realize that my kids don’t really know the “pleasure” of finding just the right battery for their flashlight, their radio, or other electronic devices.

How can we make STEM flower?

No Gravatar

When I tell folks that I really want our children to become comfortable with STEM, they (naturally) assume I want great courses in science, engineering, technology, and math. Sure, I do. As well as great programs in music, grammar (none of this BS ‘texting vernacular’), history, citizenship, and the rest. Because our kids need to be world citizens.

Oh, sure, one of my distant cousins (who was deeply involved with Sperry Gyroscope and its military inventions) had given me his son’s wonderful Lionel train set (which remained in my possession until I was 12 years old).
