I know what you mean; I was in a similar situation growing up. One very unfortunate phenomenon among most of the kids I see today is that they are so swamped by “structured” activities that they have no time to “tinker” for the heck of it. They feel pressured that all their time ought to show returns on their resume/exams/applications/etc :-/ I would love to enable a few kids and engage with them so I might at least vicariously get some of the fun of tinkering.
