Question about tech for kids I can get my 11y/o son into. He likes building things with me and though he’s not computer programming literate I just found out he has a high IQ (somewhere around 150?). I’m not familiar with Raspberry Pi, might you have a suggestion for something fun he could do or make and maybe learn about bitcoin while he’s at it?

I was thinking mining perhaps? Or something that would challenge his thinking.

ps. those of you who do some amazingly creative and productive dev things, I thank you for your work in the Light. The dark not so much. I am thankful you’re building cool shit.

I think something rudimentary about teaching savings is good for a start. He can have his own wallet and he gets zapped whenever he does chores at home or reads a book. I think he can gain a lot of lessons from that. nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx had a little girl on his podcast once that would be good listening too. I am not sure if starting with a mining is a good project… but I know nothing of it. I think maybe a standard robotics will project have him and you entertained and on a later project you can integrate bitcoin on it. A toy car or an drone.

Ok thanks. Yeah a robotics thing would really get him excited, and I like getting a wallet so I can zap him for incentive. Still trying to teach the value of a dollar vs value of a Satoshi. It’s harder than it looks

The wallets usually show the price in dollar with time it will go home I suppose he will eventually start to understand that

Will go up*

Check these out. They're fun and not a big "scary" coding project.
