There's a family with some nerdy kids that have turned up to trivia the past two weeks, last week they had a hand drawn periodic table with them.

I was telling the mum and one of the kids this week she should give the boys an old laptop, let them figure out how to put Linux on it, learn git, then learn to make a game in Godot. I hope they can pick up some things like that to help feed their curiosity and build some skills to last a lifetime.
