RE: LIVING IS LEARNING: Amazing Unschooled Babies Learn to Walk & Talk .... and more!

in #unschooling7 years ago

I regularly invite parents (for example fellow parishioners and educators) to bring their children to visit my workspaces. One of the most inspiring activities for bright young people is seeing "how it is done" in terms of a skilled designer working with tools. In my case, those tools tend to be CAD programs on computers (circuit design, PCB layout, 3D modeling), 3D printers, and electronic measurement equipment like multimeters and oscilloscopes...

I also design and build astronomical equipment, an interest I've enjoyed since childhood. My granddaughter has accompanied me to the Riverside Telescope Makers Conference more than once.

Informal, voluntary settings for learning are optimal.
