Lil’ Fixers, Big Ambitions
Sometimes, we get really cool stuff in our mailbox, like fancy tools and new gadgets—but this one trumps them all. Last week, CEO Kyle Wiens, CXO Luke Soules, and guide-writer extraordinaire Andrew Goldberg got a letter from Mrs. Goldstein’s kindergarten class. These industrious little tykes have been exploring the ins-and-outs of electronics and household appliances in their classroom workshop.
“We’re your biggest fans,” they wrote. Well, Mrs. Goldstein’s class, we’re your biggest fans. By learning about what’s inside all the electronics that make our big world go ’round, you’re also learning about science, engineering, and repair. And, we’re willing to bet, when you grow up, you’ll use that knowledge to make the world a better place for us all.
We sent some tools and repair guides your way to help you put all that stuff back together again. Keep on doing what you’re doing, kiddos. You’re awesome.

This is absolutely great! Huge kudos to the teacher for engaging the children in an area that most kids are already interested in. I mean, we’re a biased group just by the nature of our visit here, but thinking back I can clearly recall all of my childhood friends being fixated on taking things apart at one point or another. Mrs Goldstein has encouraged her children to maintain that fascination by, rather than punishing or downplaying, indulging in this natural curiosity.
This group of kindergarteners will surely still grow up to be lawyers, sales people, cooks, homebodies, CEOs, etc but those that don’t go down the tech path will still have that much better of a chance at retaining repair knowledge with a thirst for knowledge of how things function.
