What would you recommend? Without hesitation, two things i believe are crucial:
1) Let them find a introductionary reader (the most basic of study books) or kids-encyclopedia on the subjects they find interesting.
2) At first, limit access to resources, but not knowledge. Spoiled equals no curiosity and creativity. Time to experiment.
My experience as a kid;
Best toy ever: LEGO Technic.
How would I teach him coding? First i realized computers just do what humans tell them to. Then i did "Echo Hello World", and promptly found a introduction reader about QuickBasic on MSDOS with my mothers name on it. I absorbed it entirely and backwards, picked up on Visual Basic, and thanks to dialup internet soon PHP.
Introduce to electronics? I started disassembling electronics shortly after i got my hands on a "How Stuff Works" CD-ROM.
Robotics? For me it was LEGO Technic and hacking, but nowadays i'd just give them a LEGO NXT kit. (See the LEGO FIRST events, they're awesome even for the youngest of kids)
- orless 11y agoVery good, thank you. Why limit access to resources?
