Growth Mindset & Fixed Mindset

This is from the advisory class. We have advisory classes since fourth grade. My dad got really excited about our last week learning- Growth mindset vs Fixed mindset.

Growth mindset is about people who don' give up. Fixed mindset is about people who give up. The difference can be understood from this easy example.

Person 1 with fixed mindset - "I can't do this".
Person 2 with growth mindset- "I cant't do this yet".

With this one extra word yet it could make all the difference !!

Thomas Edison never gave up trying to make the light bulb glow.

The flight was a 5 hour flight to Charlotte. When we reached Charlotte, w...

How to 3D Print: Zoom Recording For Interested Folks

I think in a previous post I have talked about the Bengal Club of Bay Area (BCBA) , an association my parents are associated with that promotes Indian cultural events. They also keep events for community outreach. One of the events was a Zoom session that I hosted to introduce 3D printing to whoever wanted to know.    BCBA had promoted the event through Facebook.  I hope I was able to make some people curious about how the stuff works. I enjoyed my first Zoom event.  If you want a quick introduction to the amazing possibilities with 3D printing, watch the recorded event.
