That's tough. Todays young people are detached from reality because of the tech in their hands. How ironic in a sad way.
They find pixels more real that matter itself. Pounding a nail, creating a simple circuit were things I knew at 6 or 7 years old.
IMHO, I think if you want to get people of ANY AGE interested in the physical world, you have to engage them into the physical world. This is the thinking of orgs like habitat for humanity, job corp, peace corp, etc.. Physical skills. These things have largely been abandoned in public education due to business profit reasons, along with music and art. Technology for business reasons is eliminating human labor. So in the very long run you are running up a down escalator. People by the numbers won't be needed for jobs.
I don't have an easy answer for you. Maybe this:
"
So remember to look up at the stars and not at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up. Unleash your imagination. Shape the future." S.H.
