If you, your pupils or your children have ever been stressed out because of a project they had to do in school, then this may be the answer.
How To Put A Man On The Moon If You're A Kid is a book that teaches project management to kids. It shows how, whether it’s a tiny project about 'My Favourite Pop Star' or a huge project to say, put a man on the Moon, the same method, the same techniques apply. In 90 pages the book describes this method in simple language that an 8 – 16 year old child could understand.
Every schoolchild in the world is given projects to do. Once they leave school, many go into jobs where they have to run other, much bigger projects. Yet – bizarrely - no child is ever taught how to plan and run projects. I suppose then we shouldn’t really be surprised by the Luas and the Port Tunnel running late and over-budget, the PPARS catastrophe or the voting machines mess. We haven’t even taught the basic skills to the people involved! Imagine if we didn’t teach anyone arithmetic but we still expected them to become accountants and scientists and engineers!
