My interest in this kind of learning is kind of a contradiction to my education. As a languages major and educator, my continuous fascination with Science has led me to create many lessons in a field I have little to no post secondary education in. Undaunted, I keep 'nerding out' over learning new things. 10 Years ago it was my excitement over the discovery of Nanotechnology that led me to share what I learned with my son who was 13 at the time. 10 years later, he will be graduating with a degree in Nanotechnology Engineering. It all comes down to igniting a spark in ourselves that may be shared with others. This lesson covers a lot of material(s) in a short time span, but offers enough to light a fire in a lot of minds when you journey down one of the rabbit holes I included in the Dig Deeper section. Keep learning, keep sharing, and keep creating!
