We live in a world surrounded by electronics. From smart phones to smart TVs to smart wearables - electronics around and ‘on’ us are increasing. Skynet is coming!

IMHO children should be exposed to electronics for these 4 reasons

🧠 1. Builds Problem-Solving through hands on learning
When children learn electronics, they're not just memorizing facts ; they’re physically experimenting, connecting wires, testing batteries, and seeing the effects instantly. This kind of active and tangible learning leads to a deeper understanding and retention of concepts.
For example when kids build circuits, many don’t work on the first try—often because the batteries are inserted the wrong way. Ironically, they know about polarity in theory, but the mistake reveals the gap between knowing and doing.

🛠️ 2. Teaches How the World Works
I once asked my child where money comes from, and she said, “ATM.” I was both amused and a little shocked. With so much abstraction around basics today, it’s clear we need to focus more on helping kids understand the fundamentals.
From remote controls to smartwatches, electronics power everyday life. When kids learn electronics, they begin to understand the systems around them, which empowers them to be creators, not just consumers.

🚀 3. Builds a Foundation for Future Tech Skills
Electronics is the foundation of robotics, programming, automation, IoT — basically every tech trend. Starting early opens doors to careers in STEM, but even more importantly, it builds tech fluency in a digital world.

And last but definitely not the least important
🧩 4. Boosts Focus and Patience
Building a circuit/project isn’t always instant. It teaches kids to slow down, follow steps, and pay attention to detail — all vital life skills. And that feeling when it finally works? Priceless.
