National Engineers' Week

In observation of National Engineers Week, The Washington Post ran a story in its "KidsPost" section on Nate Ball, host of PBS's Design Squad and keynote speaker at ITEA's upcoming conference in Louisville.

It's a great piece - designed to pique kids' interest in engineering and its practical applications. My seven-year-old daughter read it without me even having to ask her. (She was also pretty excited that I would get to see Nate use his "rapid ascender" in Louisville).
