Lots of us have stories like this so I thought I’d share.
I had my grand kids in the shop quite a lot. We built trinkets, cutting boards, knick nacks, hot plates and such for their parents. They learned the basics of table saws, band saws, lathes, welding, and even machine shop theory. Through out its all I peppered conversation with materials sciences loading structures you name it.
I built my eldest grand daughter's dill house with her. It was stick built and we drove country roads for the perfect house to model hers after. We discussed beam strength loading snow loads floor loads static load of doll house kitchen appliances etc., all this we discussed as we built it.
So her awareness of these issues was set.
Now she’s got herself into Purdue Engineering and during her first job interview (while she’s in school) she told the interviewing engineer all about that doll house. How she learned static loads, materials sciences, and structural dynamics starting with her grandfather.
She got the job.
Pass it on.
