Great news! 21st century classes will now be creating students that are work force ready. Young people now have the access to technology like never before. This is besides just being an end user of social media and the internet. These kids are also involved in creating prototypes that they only once imagine.
Future Now featured a news about school children, doing their own projects using the technology of the 21st century. These shop classes are back with a vengeance and it's made even better. This is because of the technology that has been made available to everyone all over the world.
Schools, public and private, from elementary to high school, are revolutionizing the education system. The government, sure is giving their all-out support for this kind of campaign in revolutionizing the US education system. President Obama himself, said in a speech, "We're helping school, take shop class into the 21st century, and I hope every company, every community, every citizen joins us as we lift our makers and builders and doers across the country."
This our era of do-it-yourself, is the best. It is not just about HGTV or Pinterest influencing these things, but education and knowledge. Kids with their educators together create things that could revolutionize the next best thing in communication, media and arts. Even in the subject of mathematics, where young programers can learn to create a new game of office system. It will require logic, dedication and fun to kids who love what they do.
Technologies like 3D printers and laser cutters are a big help even to professionals. Young inventors, builders and tinkerers, can make use of them too! Even budding young entrepreneurs can prototype their imagination and turn them into reality. This kind of education will certainly produce world ready individuals.
