content: There are some great minds here. Not to boast too much but rarely will I find a place where I can talk to people more intelligent than I. So thats why I like to post about science stuff here, but it's not directly tied to electronics, so there is no place for it. If we had a STEM forumWe could post things about space, quantum physics, math, physics, chemistry, 3D printing, and so on.Just an idea

content: I like this idea. However, I think here you'll still get answers regarding your mentioned topics. Even without any dedicated forum.

content: Hello there:I see this is almost 4 months no posts, but things are turned upside down, for many in this world.Hey, uh, I'm not schmart, but knew some folks;One person was such a genius, had various troubles like alcohol abuse, at age 14. Sooo, the solution there, with parents support, they just 'promoted' him, to nearby University. Today, he is a California Director, over some state agriculture divisions.Myself, age 68, no real big accomplishments, unless you count a few CAT rescues...I wouldn't mind hearing about other's exp that never was 'stellar'. There are a lot of folks hiding out, through life, from the harshness and illogical world.I've known quite a few Leaders, that's a social genius, plus one particular fellow, he liked to be a Biblical Scholar. Never met someone doing that, before. Many folks would recognize the name...J*** H****, a book Author.But not me, always the '2nd man', or '3rd'.I've seen 'great' organizations, from within.Here's a TRICK, I used, to get hired there:If they got dogs, walking those little ones is work, real work, and distracting..."...I'll call New York back, WHEN I'm finished, walking Fluffy...", they would say. So, I started doing the daily dog-walking, and got hired on, formally.Many of the higher accomplished folks, in Silicon Valley had excess responsibility, and attendant health problems. I think Atari-Namco, an arcade game manufacturer was approx 35 miles from here, so I hadaccess, to virtually any company,...that would hire me that is...

content: But question was about STEM, (sorry).I designed / built a hands-on Mechanical Computer system, for teaching. Pretty interesting tool for motivating students.

content: STEM implies a formal approach to learning - possibly not so directly related to the spirit of eevblog electronics, I guessHowever aspects of formal basic study is a rich seam I imagine - I've just stumbled onto an education equipment supplier's site and may be tempted to melt my nailshttps://www.philipharris.co.uk/product/physics/electricity-and-electromagnetism/magnetism/induction-kit/b8r09607
