There are many non-creative people in today's world. In my opinion it's caused by lack of interesting "DIY" projects at school. It would be so developing for kids. Maybe more of them would find out that beeing an engineer is not only about math and physics theory (sure, it depends on your specialization). Here is little example how to encourage kids to make something by themselves and learn at the same time. In my opinion, it would be great to have such classes as i love to tinker.

1. Would you like to have such classes in your middle school?
2. Do you like to tinker?
3. Do you also miss original flappy bird?
4. What do you think about those differences in genders and minorties?

I like, but I'm not very good at it - but when I was younger I really enjoyed helping my father tinker at the comupter or my uncle at some vihicles.
I didn't like the game - I played maybe 3 times, so not at all.
Yes, I like tinker and I do not miss flappy bird. That game made me really angry for like thousand times, so screw it :P Still I don't understand why creator of it has removed Flappy bird from app stores - it's not creators fault that some people destroyed their phones, because of anger that came from playing this game.
I don't know how to deal with all this racism/gender thing. In 2017 in well developed countries everyone can do whatever they want so there is no any problem when white boy wants to became NBA star or black girl wants to become robotics genius. It's hard to say for me why this specific field is so dominated by white and asian males.
I like some technical activities. My dad is a car mechanic and when I was a little girl I loved to help him to fix cars. Now I don't have much time for such things...
But does this solve the problem of the uneducated teachers in the class? I think the education system is flawed not because of lack of material but the lack of teachers that know how to use the least material to teach their student.
Everything in this video was right up until around the four minute mark. It was actually saying something here that might have inspired women to enter STEM fields, right up until she started talking about gender and race. That Flappy Bird box idea was brilliant, and it alone could have inspired some girl somewhere to better herself. But I don't think that gender politics is needed in this video :(
I don't miss the original flappy bird as I was never a fan of that game.
I think everyone at school should have equal chances of development.
In my middle school there was a subject where you created things like extension cord by yourself. However there was no creative projects. I really enjoyed these lessons and my extension cord still works.
Personally I don't miss the original flappy bird. This game was driving me crazy each time I played it.
I think I'm DIY enthusiast because If I have free time, I like "make something from nothing". It has a good influence on me.
Flappy bird? It's very annoying game for me. I've played maybe one day and I had to delete it because I was worried about my phone :P
2. I like to tinker with things. When I had my first car, I tried to do repairs on my own to learn about how components work together and why they get broken.
3. I have never played “Flappy bird”
4. Undoubtedly, the positive aspect is that more and more women are choosing careers in engineering. The number of women in IT industry is increasing rapidly as we can see from the surveys and our own observations. I can’t really tell what are the reasons for those significant inequalities when it comes to ethnicity.
I like to tinker. I like to know how things work and I also like to help when there's something broken to repair.
I played "Flappy bird" maybe once or twice but i've never got into the swing of it.
Engineering was always mostly a man interest but I think everyone should try it and know at least the basics.
2. Yes i do. In fact i'm constantly workink on some ebony rings in my free time.
3. Nope.
4. It doesn't matter to me.
I think that differences in genders have nothing to tinkering. Everyone should try it.
I am definitely a tinkerer. As much as I love assembling furniture from IKEA, I also like to upgrade existing things and fix/mend things. Usually, when I'm unable to fix something, I know it's simply garbage and can get thrown away. I already know, than when I move into my own house, I will make many pieces of furniture myself instead of buying them.
I do not miss flappy bird very much, because it was annoyingly addicting. A game session could go on for hours which could be spent in many better ways...
Well, for me they weren't. I remember when during arts classes in 4th grade I had to make a small box by sewing together a few postcards. I had absolutely no idea how to even start to go about it.
Thankfully, or maybe unfortunately, it was my last experience with such kind of crafting during my education. From then the "technical skills" lessons consisted mostly of drawing some geometrical shapes and learning road signs for the bicycle driving permit exam. (yes, there actually was something like that in middle school :)
Given my experience with DIY, it won't come as a shock, that when once I saw my father take an old metal coat-hanger and bend it into a row support structure for a piece of Christmas decoration it blew my mind such a thing was possible. (I was 10 at the time, so chill out)
Thankfully since then I've learned a lot about DIY and nowadays I couldn't imagine calling a guy and playing him god knows how much to change the proverbial lightbulb. We should definitely put much more effort into teaching this stuff to our children, as it not only greatly develops their imagination and logical thinking skills, it will also undoubtedly save them a lot of money and problems in the future.
If it come about flappy bird i've never played in this game :)
About differences i think that it's true that rather men likes tinkering but now i think that it is changing but it also have connection with nationality and culture of people.
Creativity in our current education system has almost entirely died, this would perhaps push it at least towards "average" level :).
