PBS Newshour on Maker Faire

The maker movement is excellent. As the program suggests it also serves to show many people enjoy engineering and making things work. Kids love to learn to accomplish things. Memorizing boring science details is not as interesting or a very useful way to create the kinds of innovative scientists and engineers that can aid our economy.

    I would have loved to take part in such a program as a kid. It’s a really nice feeling when you succeed to make something with your hands.

    Curis really, apart from what these guys are creative, there is a very important thing is to keep young people busy at home that will benefit them, certain to become great engineers …

    I’m impressed by such people who have serious guidlines from their childhood. It’s really splendid how young generations find time for huge projects, devoting not a second to stupid games and issues for babies. The video is unforgettable!

    I buy science kits for activities to do at home. We all have a lot of fun doing the different experiments that involve making things like slime, marshmallows and poop (yes, poop). I don’t understand why they hate science class at school.
