  lmao. I have a brother who’s a lot like me and loves to tinker (not too young that this is irresponsible though), so when i need to throw something on to keep him occupied while i work, i know Technology Connections is a safe bet.

    That’s awesome. With what does he tinker? Some sort of screenshot technology?

    I’m the youngest in my family, so I’ve never really had the chance to guide someone’s growth until relatively recently. I take a great amount of pride in directing my kid toward things that will expand their creativity and curiosity. Hopefully you enjoy doing the same for your younger brother!

      I try to encourage him since all my tinkering was self taught. I know I’d appreciate having a guide or even just a friend to talk to about those ideas. And he definitely comes up with some ideas that help my own tinkering.

      Right now he’s really into engineering and has this box that comes monthly that I paid for him that teaches him Engineering principles. I think it’s done by Mark Rober? Not really tinkering but He also likes making models for 3D printing and he’s been trying to get into Programming, unfortunately I think that curiosity keeps distracting him though.
