AS AN ASIDE; When I was a young'n I had a lot of legos - but my granfather was a nuclear engineer with GE... (helped build Hanford)
There was a technical design/drafting book in his book case I picked up where I was around ~6 or so...
I drew every single diagram/ortho/iso whatever in that book. Multiple times.
When I got into middle school, I was opted to elect a highschool class, and I chose technical drafting...
When I went to class, the textbook was the same one from my grandfathers bookcase - I sailed through that, and then...
This was what got me into design and architecture and CAD... I then setup the first cad network in my highschool, while I was still in 7th grade.
I was in VOCAD by 9th, and came in second in the CAD Olympics in 1993 (I was the fastest ever to finish the test in 30 minutes, on a 3 hour deadline.)
THE ENTIRE POINT BEING ;
Get kids in front of technical design/docs/whatever is complex as EARLY as possible.
There is no loss in teaching a toddler calculus. They may wind up being a flamboyant broadway star, but at least they can maths.
