[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a little odd your kid can’t find other STEM kids at school considering STEM is way more popular these days compared to pre-Internet.

My kid wasn’t as isolated at school, but found some regional groups of middle school coders and robotics groups.

You should investigate local programs that aren’t tied to a school.  They are fairly common these days.[/quote]

Yeah I was surprised but I can't think of one boy that is into it at this school. He is in a smaller program within a school so that might be part of the issue, but they came from an ES program that generally made them hate science and I think it carried over. I did advise him that he could talk to girls because I KNOW some girls at his school are interested in STEM stuff but apparently that carries a host of other issues for him lol.

He does do some after school groups that are science related but mainly 8th graders who aren't realy interested in befriending a 6th grader :( WE do do other outside programs but I think sometimes it is just hard to make good friends with folks you don't see every day all day long like the people at school.

Some of the boys are into it they are just sheeple and going along with the crowd for now.  Be proud you have a kid who knows himself.  A gift in the long run.  But sorry OP.  It is hard.[/quote]
