The future of flashlights? Not!

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Our son, who is a self confessed science geek (I understand this is no longer regarded as a term of abuse) drew my attention to the following article whilst he was conducting a science project at school. I don’t think this will cause too many waves in the world of flashlights but it is great to see a hugely self confident girl punching above her weight (We have a 14 year old girl at home and this is inspirational)

Thanks vas. Obviously, didn’t realise this had come up before. Mea Culpa

I agree! It is so cool to see. It is still a field which is quite male-dominated. I thought this was quite interesting:

Thanks for this reference Chloe. We have a 14 year old girl and a 16 year old boy and no matter what we do at home the science/art divide exists. Our boy excels at maths/science whereas our daughter excels at english/arts. How much of this is genetic and/or environmental I have no idea.I suspect,the teachers, who are themselves conditioned have a lot to do with this. We just try our best for both of them
