Sounds like you're filling you back pocket with goodies to share... But don't hold back, don't limit the selection only to what you think a kid would like. Why?
Since I was 5 I remember being ravenous for all the complexity and hidden knowledge of the adult world. Cursive, how driving works, cursing (lol)... This was before the wide adoption of in-home personal computers, but I suspect if I had been born 20 years later I would have gobbled up any and all technical data on how those things worked.
I say don't hold back. Heck, even offer up some super technical obscurities like Fortran or assembly or MIDI. The more esoteric the better. Be the bottomless cornucopia.
- jason_slack 9y agoWhat I meant was c/C++ and OpenGL are not of interest to a kid. I need to use something different :-)
- kleer001 9y agoIs this from personal experience? Never had to deal with kids myself... I would have expected nothing in the real of knowledge off limits to a motivated child.
