Corrupting the Youth

It's a good thing that corrupting the youth is no longer a crime punishable
by death. As part of National Engineers
Week, Hanna and I went to a middle school in Beaverton to
make a presentation to two math classes about what it's like to take up
engineering as a profession. The objective of this program, ostensibly, is
to get kids excited about math and science at a young age so that they avoid
the trap of becoming bureaucrats or, worse, quacks and sue-happy lawyers.
