Yesterday, I showed the Nesters some videos made by PBS NOVA called "The Secret Life of Scientists and Engineers". These 6-7 minute videos are geared towards kids and highlight individuals who work in the science or engineering fields. One of the great thing about these videos is that they show how a passionate interest, often found early in life, can lead to a satisfying career. They also feature people who have multiple interests such as an architectural engineer who also rock climbs, or a rapping botanist. The kids really enjoyed seeing these videos which make science and engineering look fun and cool. Check out the PBS website if you want to watch them at home.
Here is a short clip from one of the videos.
