When I was 5, I received a Game Boy for Christmas. It started me down the long road of computers, programming, and my career today. I also had different building toys growing up. K-Nex, LEGOs, and Erector Sets were common. It gave me a place to explore creativity and building. As I grew older, I started learning how to use my father's tools for woodworking and basic carpentry. In that spirit I would recommend fostering the impulse to create, build, and explore.
