My son is 10 and showing aptitude at school for programming, indeed he was selected for a recent Gifted and Talented group his school and sent to Exeter University for a coding session for a day.
I was thinking I'd encourage him by buying him a Raspberry Pi kit for Christmas but there appear to be many variants and sellers offering bundles of kits.(It sort of makes me think it's today's equivalent of the electronics kit I had 40 years ago!) At school I believe they have been using the Kanos environment.
I'm a little confused as to what would make a good kit for him, which OS, how much memory etc. I can provide him with a repurposed HDMI monitor from an old long dead desktop but some kits seem to include a casing, keyboard and mouse etc.. I suppose the quality of those varies...
I'm not completely tech illiterate but are there any current Pi'ers who can guide me?
Thanks.
