Simone Giertz Quotes

It's the way I study - to understand something by trying to work it out or, in other words, to understand something by creating it. Not creating it one hundred percent, of course; but taking a hint as to which direction to go but not remembering the details. These you work out for yourself.

I always believe that a person can learn so much by just jumping into something and trying to do it rather than having someone else teach you everything.

You can learn so much just by doing, not by listening to anybody.

I try to learn with experience. This is my process of learning, so I try my 100 per cent.

My first toy was a box of transistors.

Electronics are getting more and more accessible now - you don't have to be an engineer to start building things.

My strong feeling is that we must learn more about how we learn. I'm convinced that we learn by struggling to find the solution to a problem on our own with some guidance, but getting in and getting our hands dirty and working it.

Just build things and find out if they work.

I now know that I learn by solving problems as they arise. Rarely do we learn significant lessons, or significantly improve, any other way.

I liked the challenge of designing and building things, figuring out how something works and how to make it better or apply it in a different way.

I love building things like robots, toys, and all of that.

F1's ability to problem-solve is second to none and our ability to make rapid prototype parts is again second to none.

I think the best learning is done with active manipulation. And we need to be able to work with our hands; it's not just about using our brains.

Problem-solving is essential to engineering. Engineers are constantly on the lookout for a better way to do things.

You learn out of bitter experience, trial and error. Life teaches you that. As sincere as you all are, you can't learn it all in school.

To "learn from experience" is to make a backward and forward connection between what we do to things and what we enjoy or suffer from things in consequence.

Learning is not watching a video, learning is taking action and seeing what happens.

Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world.

Engineering is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realization in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege.

I think we all learn by doing rather than thinking about doing.

To the engineer falls the job of clothing the bare bones of science with life, comfort, and hope.

The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience.

It is the same with anything - you have to learn through your own experience, paying your own way. You can't learn it from a book.

I love working with technology because it allows me to follow my imagination and to invent new things.

You're not going to learn how to do it until you do it.
