Hi Everyone,
I work for a large tech company full of Physicists, Electrical Engineers, etc. (full disclosure - I'm not an engineer).
I think my son is demonstrating a potential future interest in Physics or Engineering based the types of things he plays with, the way he plays, and where his strengths lie. My father in law is an Electrical Engineer, and my father is a Physician, so perhaps he inherited some interest in science (I hope).
Anyways, for folks with children, or who can remember their own childhood, how did you foster a love, interest, and ultimate career in Science or Engineering? I would love him to eventually major in a STEM field (and do well), so that he has good career options, but I don't want to interrupt his curiosity or interest too early.
Appreciate feedback.
