The child is my nephew. The reason I want to show him computer science is from my own experience. When I was a kid, I got my first computer before all my friends. Today, I realize that made a big difference. Also, I see that his parents do not do not care about that, they gave him a tablet just to play and watch videos on youtube. I just want to show him that there's so much more than that!

- guilhermetk 10y agoI know, my intention is not to impose but to show him what exists and what can be done. I believe that if I do not do that, no one will. [Edit] I say that because I live in the coutryside in Brazil. People here, specificaly in my city, are focused in agricultural activities and are still not used to deal with computers.
- Shank 10y agoRealize that by pushing someone into a hobby you're going to disrupt their ability to discover or experience it for themselves. Give them a computer, not CS problems. I would probably hate CS if my parents told me to get into it or started leaving breadcrumbs for me to pick up.
