Hi everyone,
I came across this video today (via Facebook!) which is essentially trying to develop early childhood methods for attracting young people into the field of engineering, in this case specifically females.

I found it quite interesting, and it is actually setup as an advertisement for a profession through toys. Whether it is effective or not its probably far too early to say, but its a great concept! Bit of a different way to look at attracting young professionals into the industry!
Cheers
