And this is why I spend so much time teaching...

A boy looks out over the table of robots from my Introduction to Mechatronics class, presented at the "Day by the Bay" alumni event this past weekend.

And this is why I spend so much time, effort, and care with the students teaching them how to do this, for this exact moment. Because in about 10 years, that little boy in going to be interested in knowing how the world works, and willing to study hard to gain mastery over the subject matter. And because some day, that will be my own son(s), looking across the table and wondering how it works, and being inspired.

Many thanks to Carolyn for letting me use the picture.
