Re: What this project has really done...
>What exactly would you have preferred? Let's have the details so that we can mock your proposal with equally daft and irrelevant generalisations.
Arduino, Raspberrypi, Lego. Something where kids can believe that THEY can get involved with the technology. That technology is something THEY can do.
Real STEM is something like CERN or LHC or HST.
"Toys for boys" projects like ISS or Apollo where you tell kids that only test pilots can do science, and "science" is only about having the fastest or most dangerous vehicle does not encourage kids to do STEM (it might encourage them to become management consultants)
