It sounds to me like the makerspace idea is pretty cool.  I may have to join 
one here in Bozeman cause project space (and projects) are seriously limited in 
the new digs.

Googling makerspace for Denver looks like there are number of places.  Maybe 
some would be better than others for your grandson.


Might be a good idea on 40m but I don't have a mobile antenna for that band.


Cheers,

Fred

Subject: [Elecraft] Suggestions for Introducing a 10-year-old to Amateur Radio 
and Electronics

Looking for suggestion about books or kits or whatever else that might interest 
a ten year old to electronics and to amateur radio.  He is adept at mechanical 
things and pretty bright.  What else could he be?  He’s my grandson.

But his understanding of electronics is well insulated by contemporary smart 
phones and games and the like, about the innards of which one can learn nothing 
in the old way – the way we did it, by taking the family radio apart and then 
having to learn how to put it back together.

Any other grandpas or grandmas out there have experiences to share?

Thanks in advance,

Ted, KN1CBR
