Didier pietri biography for kids

by Didier Pietri, President of Luki Lab

This week is STEM Week, and at Luki Lab, we celebrate STEM every week! Luki Lab is an innovative toy company dedicated to creating unique experiences designed to expand a child’s world. We create toys that deliver rich play value for a new generation of learners. Simply put, we’re obsessed with STEM toys and we think every parent should be too. Here’s why.

As parents, we all want our children to grow a lifelong love for learning. The best way to foster this is to encourage children’s natural curiosity and play, and this is where STEM toys come into play.

STEM toys are an excellent way to introduce kids to the fundamental concepts of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math in an engaging way that is fun for kids of all ages. STEM toys are all about active play, designed to encourage a level of engagement that inspires children to discover more about the world and themselves.

STEM toys build problem-solving skills.

STEM toys can enrich children’s developing cognitive skills, such as their logical reasoning, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking. STEM-related activities teach children more than just memorizing facts and figures, providing opportunities for children to think critically, assess a problem, and come up with the best approach or solution.

Luki Lab’s Pinxies line of building sets are STEM-authenticated and designed to improve problem solving skills, while also inspiring imaginative storytelling. Kids can build and learn by creating new structures as they connect the plastic building links with the vibrant glossy paperboard panels. We created Pinxies to empower young girls with engineering skills, and our hope is that it will reinforce the message that STEM subjects and careers are accessible to everyone.

Our newest Pinxies line features the two-story Fairy Treehouse with a functional slide and swing, the Vet Care Center, and the Undersea B

1Typical of activist movements in South Asian Islam, the Tablîghî Jamâ‘at combines the Sûfî principles of leadership with a reformist message. Therefore all the points I will be making here are not meant to contradict Marc Gaborieau's paper (published here in the same issue) but have to be seen in conjunction with it.

2To those unfamiliar with the Tablîghî movement it should be pointed out that it represents a voluntary mass movement of lay preachers founded by Muhammad Ilyâs (1885-1944) in 1927 in the Mewat region around Delhi in Northern India. At the time it was contesting Hindu preaching activities among tribal Muslim converts. After the demise of British colonial rule the Tablîghîs branched out from there to all South Asian countries and more recently to all places where Muslims live. They could be called a pietist movement devoted to the so-called internal mission. They aim at reconfirming their Muslim co-religionists in their faith where they feel it has become slack, where Islam is not being correctly practiced or in danger of not being observed at all. For this purpose, they form groups of travelling preachers of usually up to 15 members, who head for a Muslim locality where they conduct door-to-door preaching. They invite people to come to the local mosque for prayer and for a religious sermon on the virtues of a pious life. This preaching activity would be undertaken either in the immediate vicinity or in far-away places, even in other countries. The formation of these groups of travelling preachers tends to become an end in itself as they seek to involve Muslims in ever growing number in their preaching for ever longer and more periods of time. The time spent in the movement, on the road, becomes a measure of the commitment to the ideals of Islam. The travelling scheme has more recently been complemented by efforts to organise permanent preaching groups at local mosques called the masjidwâr Jamâ‘at (cf. Reetz, 2004).

Early Life

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, , at Porbandar, in the present-day Indian state of Gujarat. His father was the dewan (chief minister) of Porbandar; his deeply religious mother was a devoted practitioner of Vaishnavism (worship of the Hindu god Vishnu), influenced by Jainism, an ascetic religion governed by tenets of self-discipline and nonviolence.

At the age of 19, Mohandas left home to study law in London at the Inner Temple, one of the city’s four law colleges. Upon returning to India in mid, he set up a law practice in Bombay, but met with little success.

He soon accepted a position with an Indian firm that sent him to its office in South Africa. Along with his wife, Kasturbai, and their children, Gandhi remained in South Africa for nearly 20 years.
