#STEM #STEMStudents A Talk To STEM Students

A talk to STEM Students is about Model Building For STEM Students to consider the hobby of model railroading as a part of their STEM curriculum. The why, where for and relationships are an easy means of developing patterns of thinking for innovation, research and inventiveness in your chosen field of study through a most enjoyable hobby. Ingenuity just does not happen. It needs to be continuously developed. An ingenious method developed by someone else can be learned or even further improved by another generation of inventors. While there is an abundance of STEM web sites, YouTube Channels and the like, it seems many explain how things work but not necessarily how engineers, scientists or inventors achieved their success. That is to say the hard work it took to solved a complex multivariate problems. Like the master musician who makes the song look so easy and perfect a performance yet it does not explain the hours of practice, interpretation, etc. that allow him/her to achieve such a high level of performance.

You can easily look up the definitions people have for the STEM acronym. I think it is safe to say that it has to do with learning rigorous academic subjects and concepts coupled with real-world entities or objects in school, work, communities or global enterprises where science, technology, engineering and math can be applied. Plus it can target segments in society like "Girls Who code" (girlswhocode.com) to bring balance and diversity into these fields. The idea of multidisciplinary infers team building and team work for a collective ingenious result. The model railroad hobby involvement in clubs and conventions brings people already in the STEM work force together to share experience which is perhaps a rich resource, something your school cannot offer. Bulk corn, soybeans, wheat and oats originally were transported in box cars. Today through innovation those commodities are transported in hopper cars.
