So I got Asher this STEM car thing that is based on my favorite processor (ESP32), a block based computer language for kids (Scratch) and the ability to switch from graphical programming to see what that program looks like in python. Of course, as I have done since my days of doing my sibling Christmas shopping for my parents, I always play with the presents before Christmas.
It is great but Asher would need a lot of support, it practically requires that a 'teacher' develop a STEM curriculum to act as a guide. I would like to explain that to Asher and try to convince him it could be fun and interesting to have me pick him up from school one day a week and  work/play on this platform. I could get him home to you. Perhaps I would ask him to commit to 2-4 sessions and then he could decide to re-up or not.
I would be investing my time in figuring stuff out ahead of time and then guiding Asher's discovery in our sessions.
Would you support me in this? If you think it is not a good idea or doable let me know and I can figure out a different present.

So I got Asher this STEM car thing that is based on my favorite processor (ESP32), a block based computer language for kids (Scratch) and the ability to switch from graphical programming to see what that program looks like in python. Of course, as I have done since my days of doing my sibling Christmas shopping for my parents, I always play with the presents before Christmas.

It is great but Asher would need a lot of support, it practically requires that a 'teacher' develop a STEM curriculum to act as a guide. I would like to explain that to Asher and try to convince him it could be fun and interesting to have me pick him up from school one day a week and work/play on this platform. I could get him home to you. Perhaps I would ask him to commit to 2-4 sessions and then he could decide to re-up or not.

I would be investing my time in figuring stuff out ahead of time and then guiding Asher's discovery in our sessions.

Would you support me in this? If you think it is not a good idea or doable let me know and I can figure out a different present.
