I’ve been reading stories from people who did have shop or hands-on classes… It’s interesting how much they stuck with them decades later. If you didn’t have one… where did you actually learn to work with tools, fix things, or make stuff? Friends? Family? YouTube? Just figured it out yourself?

Someone said something in a reply that stuck with me: “Kids need to learn something that’s a struggle for them… They need to experience what it’s like to push through it and get the feeling of accomplishment at the end.” That’s exactly it. Making things isn’t just about skills… it’s about learning how to keep going when it’s not easy. #grownostr #diy

Got a great reply on my last post… someone said their kids are carving wood and totally stoked about it. That’s what learning should feel like. Somewhere along the way, we replaced curiosity with worksheets. What’s one project or skill you think every kid should experience before they graduate? What do you think?

I keep thinking about how much education has moved toward screens and away from making real things. Do you think kids still want to learn hands-on stuff if given the chance? I would love to know what people think! Comment below 👇 #asknostr #diy #grownostr #coffeechain

What’s the oldest tool in your shop, and do you still use it? #asknostr

This hurts my brain…

You can’t plan every cut… Just start your project… Fix what breaks or goes off course and learn fast. That’s how real skill is built.
