My 12-year old has learned a lot from Minecraft -- I imagine he has
encounterd it? you have to use it as an excuse to drip-feed things like
scientific knowledge, looking up things on wikipedia eg about basalt.
But it gets them thinking about engineering and 'real' tasks, requires
what you could call project management etc

Hope this is ok on SMUG, but hoped some of you might know...
My 8 year old is mad on computers and games. I know, I know, most
children
are, but he is definitely more keen and 'wired that way' than most his
friends.
Any tips on ways to get him in to something more edifying than the
Wii? Is
the Raspberry Pi too complicated a beast? Or is there an iPad App that
would help him. I've googled, but would love any wisdom!
I sadly missed out on Apple's in store CODE events for children last
Saturday.
Perhaps reply off-list if I'm breaking the SMUG parameters.
Thanks all
Adam
