home :: Home :: Software_Engine...Fair_.html Sun, 13 Mar 2005Software Engineering Demo for a K-5 Career Fair? Welcome to market capitalism run amok! What in the Hel are we doing holding a 'Career Fair' for 8 year olds? What kind of message are we really sending here? Could it be our society thinks that the real value of adults is their work, and not their personhood? A local elementary school is having a Career Fair in a couple of weeks and I volunteered. The idea is for parents with various jobs and careers to show and tell the kids a little bit about what their's is, why they think it's interesting and rewarding, etc. It's to try to give kids a little early exposure to some of the diverse kinds of things one can do with one's life. I'm a software engineer, so I'd like to show something that has to do with programming or Computer Science, but which would be interesting to an elementary school student.
