[20years]

I would teach kids in a more non-traditional, activity based way. No tests, just real world activities and projects that they can apply to real life. Unfortunately there are too many politics in the education system and teachers can't fully teach in the ways I would want to. It's all about the numbers and what looks good on paper.

I do some of this on a small scale now but I run my own project based workshops or after school clubs in order to bypass the system.

Examples of clubs I have ran:

- Learn how to build an automatic solar powered plant watering system

- Learn how to build your own retro arcade system

- Learn how to build a battle bot and battle it against other classmates bots

- Learn how to program [name of game]. I focus on 1 game and try to cover most of the basics. After they get the core game programmed, they are able to customize it or program another game with the concepts they learned.

For most of these things kids utilize critical thinking, math, programming, electronics and engineering.
