Kevin was excited to GEEK out in this video about German engineering and math! It has been really interesting to see just how different math is taught here in Germany compared to the USA. They are truly teaching engineering concepts and vocabulary from the first and second grades, something that is not done in the US until college! We are confident our four kids are getting an amazing math education here in Germany.

//ABOUT US//
We are a family of six, with four kids and a cat 😹, who moved from the USA to Germany in February of 2021 to pursue our dreams of adventure, travel, learning another language, and integrating into German life. We hope you enjoy our videos about our journey to integrate - the highs and the lows of being foreigners on the adventure of a lifetime.
