There’s a good article here on CNN.com about the resurgence of shop classes–with up-to-date technology–in high schools. I find this very encouraging; it was only two years ago that I ruminated here about the demise of shop classes. For awhile it’s been my hope that the recent exploding interest in hobby-level electronics and making stuff in general will lead to a renaissance of design, engineering, and manufacturing.
“That’s more like real life, rather than school.”
