As an ex-USSR kid I was taught to operate a lathe and solder stuff at school. Is it something kids elsewhere in the world did too or maybe still do as part of their curriculum?
@prokoudine In France, between 1992 ~ 95, I was around 11 to 14 y/o, we had 2h per week named 'Technology' where I learnt how to solder circuit board but also more, like chemical things to print and reveal it. We also operated many machinery like a lathe, a large top down drill, but also a tracing machine assisted by a computer, etc... It wasn't a specialised or optional program, it was main trunk public school and for all. We made cool accessories, like a dimmer switch for lights from A to Z.
@davidrevoy @prokoudine
You guys did soldering?! And CAD?!!
A decade later, I had such a class called "technology" in the main curriculum, where we made… a folding wooden bench 
️
That said, that bench is very sturdy and practical, and I'm still using it daily two decades later. So there you go, bug-free #technology right there, with an Enterprise-Grade™ lifecycle 
(I suppose @federicomena would confirm that #woodworking outlasts #electronics and code by a long shot).
@nekohayo Haha, yeah. But unfortunately it was a bit too early for me to enjoy this dive into electronic DIY. The only thing I enjoyed about that course was the low amount of tests and homework. At that age I was just obsessed with going home to continue my comic and play SuperNES. 
I remember we even learned how to read the colour code on transistors in that class. But I have no memories of that, I was definitely too young to enjoy it.
