10 Reasons Why Dad is a STEM/STEAM Genius

There is no better person to go to for your “fix it” problems than Dad. He can help fix a flat tire, a broken toy, and a broken heart all in one afternoon. However, did you know Dad is also an expert in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics? Here’s ten ways your Dad is a true Super Scientist: 

• The dad is the master of the tailgate and it’s trimmings. His understanding of scientific ingredients has made his Five Alarm chili the envy of all of the other tailgaters at the arena.
• The proud father knows the power of acoustics. The placement of the man cave television is just so as to optimize his listening experience.
• Technological innovations are not lost on father. He has come to fully embrace and love the power of the glorious reclining chair. The greatest and loudest naps of dad’s life have been spent on that chariot.
• The humble father and the television remote control go together better than peanut butter and jelly. Like a wizard with his wand, the magical father commands the  technology at his fingertip. At least he will, once Mom helps him find it.
• A mighty champion requires an equally mighty meal. The Double Triple Decker Sub Sandwich is dad’s favorite. Only someone with the delicate hands of an engineer could construct this behemoth.
• Dad’s feel the most at home when they are able to use their hands. When Fido joined the family, it was crucial that the pup have a home of his own. Dad worked tirelessly to ensure that every nail was hammered on that doghouse.
• The sacred martial art of cutting the grass is held in high regard with the father. The artistry of the angles conjures forth images of Tetris blocks being fit together in perfect alignment. The yard is his canvas, the weed eater is his brush and he is the only artist for the job.
• Standing vigilant at his charcoal grill guard post, the stoic father watches over his brood. The hamburgers to the left, the hot dogs to the right, and Aunt Gertrud’s veggie burger tossed in the garbage. Only the artistic mind of a dad could be both so diligent and elegant.
• Dad, the one true armchair quarterback that he is, understands the game of football better than most. He knows the perfect play for the team to get the first down, and if any other play is called then the team is doomed.
• Not since the days of Pythagoras himself has someone understood mathematical equations like the majestic father. Only through his keen eyes can the horrific greed of the local hardware store truly be conquered. $12 for lightbulbs? Highway robbery the dad proclaims.

While Dad may be the expert in STEAM, sometimes he needs help instilling these lessons in his child’s mind and heart. If you’re looking for enriching STEAM after-school options for your little Super Scientist, contact our offices today!
