I don’t have kids myself.
But I have a couple of nephews.
And I am also working on a pretty big project geared towards kids and electronics.
I think the topics of kids learning and electronics are very interesting.
So here’s 3 articles I found interesting:
A fun alien project:

Urge kids to be inventors, not users:

New kind of school in Silicon Valley:

In my opinion, I don’t like to try and convince anyone that they should learn electronics. But I love showing the way for those who are interested.
My eBook “Getting Started With Electronics” could be a good starting point for a kid interested in learning electronics. Especially with an eager parent as a study-partner.
After going through the book, you will have built a music-generating device, a light-show circuit and much more. But you’ll also learn how to figure out what components you need for a circuit.
