I know that we struggle in North America to keep kids interested in engineering career paths--whether it's because they're lured by more money, more glamour, or even just an easier job. But I'm also sure that there are plenty of kids interested in how things work; who like to take things apart and put them back together again. Kids who just need a little encouragement to pursue what could end up being a very rewarding career.
It's interesting, then, to see the same conversations going on around the world, and seeing how other parts of the world are tackling the same issues.
