Re: U.S. Leadership in Science May Depend on 8th-Graders
What is it about science that makes it so boring?

People make it boring. If you watch the 93 clip of FIRST with Kamen talking, a senator comes along and says that all kids are great scientists, and over the years it wears off. A LOT of people in first have found a love of science again.

So how do we bring science as the new black?

Over the summer, I plan to show kids at a camp how to work with FLL. I also am going to try to make FIRST as part of a curriculum for elementary students. I'm posting it here because it relates to the topic. If anyone would like to know about it or know about something that can help me, please PM me.
