tl;dr: The author visited his kid's school to talk about manufacturing his AI clock, sharing photos from a Shenzhen factory, prototypes, and CAD sketches to demystify how physical products get made. He deliberately avoided the typical "awe-inspiring" factory footage because it makes manufacturing feel distant and untouchable—instead he wanted 7-year-olds to see that "factories are just rooms" and that they could become the designers, engineers, and makers behind everyday objects. He encourages others to do the same at their local schools.
