Interesting to hear!
I just bought my 10-year-old a Zero W, though she doesn't know it yet. I'm not expecting her to use it as a primary PC or anything, but I'm curious to see if she takes to using it on the TV in the living room. She likes building small electronics kits, so I got her a case, heatsink, a GPIO header, and a couple of shields to see if I can't get her interested in learning more by letting her put it together and play with it. If not, I'm out like a total of $40.
Good to know that if she does like it, I can buy her one of the more full-featured ones and she can use it more productively.
