It is never knowledge that makes the difference. It is always experience that supports sense making and learning. This was a good read.

This reminded me of the time I tried explaining torque to a friend using a bag of oranges and a garden rake. Let’s just say the oranges were never the same, and neither was the rake. Anyway, this essay really nails the idea of meeting people where they are. Great stuff.

As someone who struggled in Engineering Graphics, but 4 years later got okayish at CAD, this piece was relatable and very interesting

Student side, I needed someone to teach me the whole of Engineering Graphics 6 hours before my practical exam. We didn't have great TAs or LEGOs unfortunately haha.
