Hi , I was wondering if any of you good folks out there could help out or point me in the right direction. With the lockdown etc I’ve been homeschooling the kids and I thought it’d be a good idea to teach them about money initially and then move on to bitcoin.
There’s obviously a lot of material etc out there and plenty of information, but I can’t seem to find any ‘fun’ activities for the kids to do. So I’ve been looking for some worksheets, crosswords , word searches etc, but the only ones I can find are on sites such as , Pinterest and teaching sites, where I have to sign up to . I don’t really want to sign up to anything and I don’t want to pay ideally .
So if anyone has any fun bitcoin related activities for kids or knows of any resources available ,it would be really appreciated.
Thanks all and stay safe
How old are your kids? My daughter is 11, and as a lockdown activity, i'm teaching her the basics of programming.
She's pretty quick on picking up the basics of python, she's currently working on exercise 5 of
https://www.practicepython.org/.
When she starts with excercises about reading/writing flat text files, i'd like to teach her the basics of relational databases (if she's still interested).
After this, a very small basic walktrough on the absolute beginnings of cryptography might be next (basic stuff like hashing, symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption). She's only 11, so it will only be an explanation of the concepts, nothing in-depth.
At this point, i hope she's prepared to hear the fundamentals of blockchain technology... But i figured before she at least had a taste of scripting, cryptography and relational databases, there was no point in filling her head with blockchain tech (let alone crypto currencies).
