He may not be as interested in computer science as you are, just realize that.

I know, my intention is not to impose but to show him what exists and what can be done. I believe that if I do not do that, no one will.

[Edit] I say that because I live in the coutryside in Brazil. People here, specificaly in my city, are focused in agricultural activities and are still not used to deal with computers.

Realize that by pushing someone into a hobby you're going to disrupt their ability to discover or experience it for themselves. Give them a computer, not CS problems.

I would probably hate CS if my parents told me to get into it or started leaving breadcrumbs for me to pick up.
