Way I got into it was video games, and having to pick up computers and hardware to actually play anything (along with having my parents generally against it, so if I wanted to upgrade my pc for new games, I had to be careful aka research) So following that idea; don't teach them CS, give them something that'll force them to pick up CS along the way; and don't let them access the easy route to victory IE if he wants to play games, don't let him use anything but windows 7 and ban any modern video game. Give him a few copies of good older titles, and no additional instruction; like civ 3, sim city 1, star control 2, etc; by not giving him modern games, he'll be stuck playing alone with no one his age to talk to about it; no one, that is, but the internet. And if he can only play older works, then he'll inevitably read into the history, and select from the older games, and eventually you can let him upgrade his hardware at his own risk, and so it goes on. Essentially, don't let him get trapped in minecraft; a healthy start, and a tough environment, and he'll come out tough is my belief |
