We haven’t gotten this feedback in our user interviews yet (most have appreciated the effort to make it more visual and accessible), so I’d be curious to investigate this some more at some point.
That seems fine since you can’t appeal to every type of promising teenager anyway.
Like some folks (who might have found some EA questions very interesting/important) might bounce off pretty quickly but that’s okay because they would bounce off with positive-ish feelings about the content (similar to how they feel about recycling) so no harm done as they can be engaged by something else further down the line.
(It could also be because I’m thinking of talented teenagers (15+ year olds) as basically capable of engaging just as well with content designed for university students/adults but who need some extra resources/help with their specific circumstances rather than requiring entirely new introductory resources that in some ways feel dumbed down)
I’m overall glad that this exists, those are just random thoughts! :)
Thanks for raising this!
