Yeah, there are so many examples. I’ll never forget when I heard the tactics from the second stage Facebook growth team (100m - 1bn users). They were super shady.
I hope you keep it up!
I get it that boys are biologically different. I was at a party recently and two 14 year old boys wrestle for an hour on and off in dress clothes. My daughter rolled her eyes and texted her girlfriends.
The problem that I observed is that my daughter's co-ed elementary STEM program attracted a lot of hyperactive boys. On top of that, the curriculum flipped some primal switches. What I called the "boy energy" spilled over to my daughter's experience and made it crappy for her.
She has been in a same sex educational setting for the past several years and it has been great. FWIW, she loves Chem, Bio and Theater.
p.s. I am enjoying this conversation even though I must be getting downvoted a lot since my karma is negative. LOL
It's not intuition. The product team was lead by a man (see the Bloomberg video). The CEO of DJI is man, every senior exec is a man and 98% of all the DJI reps that I have met at trade shows since 2014 have been men.
It's true that I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about how to solve the problem. But it annoys me when a billion dollar company doesn't seem to either.
Are you feeling threatened?
I was just sharing some female perspectives. If this wasn't so expensive, I'd buy 2 for myself.
As a parent, I don't think there's a need to teach the next generation ok kids about AI in the context of autonomous killing machines...
I am not informed enough to even guess. Was it the first robotics ciricculum or the gender dynamics of the class? Or both?
That was 7 years ago, now she is in an all girls high school. The same sex education has provided a much less distracting environment. (Don't want to get off topic but I could go on and on about same sex education)
It will be interesting to see how open it is but DJIs first educational offering (Tello) and other products don't go very far in that regard.
My American girlfriend's immediate response: seems militaristic and violent.
My daughter was turned off from robotics at a young age. She joined firstego league and there was a ton of domineering "boy energy" in her school. She enjoyed creating and personalizing the robots in unique ways, the boys wanted "to win".
This is what happens when you have a bunch of dudes designing educational robot toys.
Why do you think they would not get bored? Also, what do you think about the price?
