[Elecraft] Suggestions for Introducing a 10-year-old to Amateur Radio and Electronics

Looking for suggestion about books or kits or whatever else that might interest a ten year old to electronics and to amateur radio.  He is adept at mechanical things and pretty bright.  What else could he be?  He’s my grandson.

But his understanding of electronics is well insulated by contemporary smart phones and games and the like, about the innards of which one can learn nothing in the old way – the way we did it, by taking the family radio apart and then having to learn how to put it back together.

Any other grandpas or grandmas out there have experiences to share?

Thanks in advance,

Ted, KN1CBR
