Driven By Curiosity

More and more people share my feeling that our educational system is in trouble. Some of you respond to this by electing to school your children at home. Media reports of home schooled children doing well are common, but it is not an easy job. I think it is especially difficult in the math and science areas, even if parents are well educated themselves.

I am currently working with my son to design and build the starter interrupt described elsewhere on this site. We have learned it is possible to design our product, have the boards manufactured, buy and assemble the parts, write the software and create a quality finished product, by ourselves on a small budget.

We plan to detail what and how we did this on this site, as time permits. The point I am making is if home schoolers look around on the internet they will find inexpensive tools and directions for creating projects their students can use to obtain a quality education about state of the art science and technology.

They may also be able to profit from what they do. For those with the right abilities and desire it beats a job at a fast food place.

Look around the site and see if you can’t find something your students would benefit from.
