[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid who started a beekeeping initiative (already was certified master beekeeper from Cornell) with a local jail, and eventually inmates mastered beekeeping and made honey. 
Kid packaged and sold the honey for them. Think inmates created a garden too and kid did same with that.

There's more to it, but that's the gist. 
At Stanford.[/quote]

That’s funny because I live on the west coast and kid beekeepers are kind of a dime a dozen out here. That and selling eggs from backyard flocks are both common crunchy educated kid activities in my area.[/quote]

Once it worked once for someone, it's out there and is getting replicated a million times.

Truly unique ECs:  no pain, no gain.  The kid really had to go through a lot to accomplish something amazing.  [/quote]
The best thing is just to make sure your kids have enough free time to think, create and master something.[/quote]

The reality is that most kids don't have that talent.  The discussion here really is focusing on how to manufacture one.  If the kid truly has talent, they won't be here asking ... But they still want to send the kid to a T20.  [/quote]

Sometimes people don’t see a kids weird interests as talent?
I don’t know. My brother in the 90s was really into watches. Loved taking them apart. We thought it was a weird quirky habit.

He ended up going to Virginia Tech and is now a doctor. I’m sure the watch hobby was nowhere in the EC list. It should have been.[/quote]
