ENGINEERING
Humanity's greatest expressions of ingenuity and creativity aren’t painted or composed — they are engineered.
A microprocessor with hundreds of billions of transistors, a self‑driving car, a smartphone, a communications satellite in outer space— these are some humanity’s greatest creative masterpieces.
Introducing The LED American Flag Soldering Kit
-
Designed by a U.S. engineer
-
37 independently testable circuit zones, learn and verify as you go
-
Clean topside, no exposed traces for a polished, display-worthy finish
-
Powered safely with external 24VDC power supply.
-
Comes with a complete online instruction: schematic, BOM, theory, assembly, and troubleshooting
This isn’t just a flag—it’s a hands-on electronics lab, a showcase of practical design, and a rewarding learning experience for students, hobbyists, and educators alike.
Not mass-produced. Not generic. Purpose-built for education, exploration, and skill-building.
Build knowledge. Build confidence. Build something you’ll be proud to display.

Foreign Workers Filling U.S. STEM Jobs in the Millions Amid an Ever-Growing Domestic Shortage of Qualified Workers
Due to a shortage of qualified domestic STEM professionals, U.S. high-tech companies increasingly depend on foreign talent to remain competitive. They attract and retain these workers with strong incentives and visa sponsorship.
Incentives Offered
-
Competitive salaries and signing bonuses above local averages
-
Relocation packages (flights, housing, moving costs)
-
Immigration and legal support for visas
-
Full benefits (healthcare, retirement, stock options)
-
Career growth via cutting-edge projects and leadership paths
U.S. firms gain enormously from global top talent, whose expertise is vital to America’s competitiveness.
The crisis is that American culture has drifted away from celebrating the things that actually build a thriving STEM pipeline: rigorous education, competition, relentless hard work, intellectual curiosity, and the pride of personal achievement. We've allowed the devaluation of effort and academic grit to take root, discouraging too many bright young Americans from pursuing the demanding paths of STEM education.
If America is to reclaim its edge and secure a homegrown future in innovation, we need massive investment in STEM education. Just as urgently, we need a cultural reset—one that restores respect for learning, competitive academic vigor, hard work, discipline, and individual excellence. Only then will we produce world‑class talent at home and inspire the next generations to embrace STEM as the most empowering path to opportunity, personal achievement, and prosperity.
Failing Grades, Failing Workforce:
America’s Talent Shortage Starts in High School
In the United States, millions of high-paying jobs in technology and advanced industries remain unfilled, not because the jobs don’t exist, but because we lack qualified workers to fill them. The real issue isn’t a shortage of manufacturing jobs, it’s a shortage of skilled candidates in science, technology, engineering, and advanced manufacturing.
Graduating Without Proficiency:
A National Emergency by the Numbers
Only One-Third of 2024 High School Graduates are Academically Prepared for College
Reading: 35% | Math: 33%
Median Annual Earnings by Education Level
(latest BLS data, 2025)
Education Pays: Each step up in education level increases median earnings significantly.
Global Electronics Component Fabrication & Assembly:
U.S. Share Shrinks to Near Zero
From Leader to Outsider:
U.S. Has Become Irrelevant in Electronics Manufacturing
Asia Dominates Global Electronics Manufacturing
90% of all electronic components are produced in Asia — with passive parts reaching 98%.
Breakdown by Component Type
-
Semiconductors (chips): ~75–80% made in Asia (Taiwan, South Korea, China).
-
Memory chips: ~90% from South Korea and Taiwan.
-
Passive components (resistors, capacitors, LEDs, connectors): ~95–98% from China and Southeast Asia.
-
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): ~90% manufactured in China.
-
Sensors & precision parts: ~70–80% from Japan and Singapore.
