41. The recent appearance of biotech science kits in toy stores is interesting in this regard. Obviously, sparking the scientific interests of children might be one of the reasons why adults are looking through the science kit shelves at local toy stores. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if playing with forensic DNA and running electrophoresis experiments at home wasn't as intriguing to parents as the children for whom these kits were originally designed. Similar to the pleasures of cooking one's dinner or fixing up one's house, the act of making, building and simultaneously learning seems to be an appealing and desirable way of spending spare time for those who can afford doing so. So here we have one reason to become involved with scientific knowledge acquisition by non-experts: pleasure and the desire to "make things" Interestingly, these are often the same motivations which steer young high school graduates toward an education in the arts. However, in addition to "making something." "saying something" with what you make obviously has to become part of this equation very quickly.
