Every video-game ever made is a system tailored to maximize the fun another system (the player) has while communicating. Optimizing any given system (no matter how mundane) leads, when approached rigorously and for a prolonged time - to a engineering mindset. Finally, im sure you could drop them a "scientific" task, and watch the number o interested persons drop to zero. Science can be horrifically tedious, i remember those experiment/measurement serieses my grandfather let me do when i was enthusiastic about chemistry in my childhood. One afternoon, of unexplained science drudgery, (a repetition of radiactivity measurments) killed my interest for chemistry back then. So horray, for taking people by something they naturally care about at that age (Games) and by that hook interest something that makes them grow.
