Bill Gates (Yes, the Bill Gates of Microsoft) recently contributed a rare op ed article where he expressed concern that “Too few young people are acquiring the knowledge they need to use technology in creative and innovative ways.”

Bill goes on to say that, “We can all help address this issue. As parents, we must help our children appreciate the joys of learning and discovery. Teachers and educators must find ways to teach science and math so it is relevant and exciting.”

Of course we at Brainwaves agree!  Why not choose a fun educational toy for each child that you are close to, and encourage him or her towards a greater knowledge of science and math?  It’s a cornerstone of the skill set required to succeed in the future.
