[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an engineer, and I hate the buzzword. I also hate the belief that you can "inspire a passion" for "STEM" by having kids build with LEGOs, [b]or some other such nonsense[/b]. [/quote] Typical engineer.[/quote] Oh are you going to scream "nerd" next?! You are an ass with the "typical engineer" crap! I agree with the engineer, you cannot "inspire a passion" for engineering with Legos. I think you either have it or you don't. [/quote] Children don't start math by learning multivariate calculus they begin with the building blocks of sortibg, patterns counting and then adding and subtraction. They don't start reading by learning Shakespeare and proust but basic I can read books. Are you suggesting that instead of Legos children should learn about engineering by reading complicated engineering textbooks or something?[/quote]
