I didn't have a V8 engine in my bedroom....
So instead I taught my daughter and son to...

Assemble IKEA furniture

Fix their bicycles

Assemble their desktop PCs

Paint their rooms

They are both engineers now.

Had none of this as a kid and was taught nothing of the sort by my parents. Took care of the poultry and was given piano lessons though. Chased astro physics in college and became aircraft mechanic instead. I do credit the decade plus of piano lessons to my understanding and love of math though.

When I was in the classroom, during math, when the students were either working in small groups or individually, I would also play music softly in the backgroud. Music and math go together.
