Re: Focus on STEM education only, good or bad?
As the population grows beyond what has been traditionally sustained on this planet, there is an ever noticeable gap between the quantity/quality of problem-solvers and problem-makers. The problems are well documented in Art, Literature and the like. However, the problems don't go away just by communicating about them. Moving forward we will need more problem solvers with work ethic than people who talk about the problems, which is what STEM programs like FIRST specifically address.
There will always be plenty of artists & writers. It takes effort and investment to make a problem solver.
