@Mellow Hudson Mike posted:I enjoy teaching and mentoring youngsters. Long, long before the acronym S.T.E.M. was coined our hobby supported it in droves, and continues to do so nicely to this day. So good to see many people mention elements of it, like building and problem solving.
However, I also submit that we should extend it to include another oft-mentioned item here: arts and crafts.
With that in mind how about the following?:
Science
Technology
Engineering
The Arts
and Mathematics
S.T.E.A.M. -- How could there be a more perfect match?

We know we are getting a little older than we would like to admit when in my case, the youngsters I teach are post-graduate college students. I teach seminars for the Architectural Registration Seminar. My other career in model trains on behalf of 3rd Rail, Sunset, & GGD specifically applies to the current architectural exam sections of:
- Practice Management
- Project Management
- Programming & Analysis
- Project Planning & Design
- Project Development & Documentation
- Construction & Evaluation
Working in the model railroading industry is relevant to all of these exam sections in one form or another.
Props to anyone who takes time to mentor. We do it because we believe in the future generations.
