(there is a parody of we didn't start the fire, the supid shuffle, uptown funk, the my little pony theme, i'll make a man out of you and more seriously you have to check some of these out.)

If that massive list of videos is too much you can always just watch/listen to the Bohemian Rhapsody Parody

Robot building is pretty darned cool.

I'm looking into getting my kiddo more involved in that sort of thing. I don't know if I'll have him programming microcontrollers or anything like that, yet...

How old is your kiddo?

How old is your kiddo?

He's 10.

I work with him a little on programming, though, and we did go to a "maker" event in 2015, that he seemed to enjoy. He was ecstatic that he got a Scientific calculator for his birthday last year, and very happy that he got a Graphing Calculator for Christmas last year.

He could love FIRST Lego league. You might have a team in you area
