christmas is coming and I am searching for gifts to make an infant (3 years) curious about cs or tech in general.
I think it is more important to develop a rough understanding of how things work, I do not think that a computer has to be involved.
I am looking for a similar present for a 15 year old teenager, too. Similar in terms of developing curiousity in cs. This teen is generally interested in tech and cs but I feel like she does not know how to get started (I think she's missing a cool project as a push).
Any advice? I am curios about your answers!
Later, we bough her an Arduino set, one with instruction for small projects. I can't find the exact set, but there are a few sets of $15 in https://www.amazon.com/s?k=arduino&i=electronics We added a few additional pieces, like a 7-segment led display. This can be suitable for the 15yo.
Children need not the slightest encouragement to become interested in tech. The question is how do you get them to take an interest in anything else.
