She loves it and has a good grasp of the hardware side and I want to start getting her in to software programming. Her next project is to build a network router with a old computer. She has a lot of fun learning how to benchmark our thrift store builds and trying to squeeze out performance for unloved hardware. One our of latest experiments was replacing the bios on a manufacture handicapped motherboard with a enthusiast bios chip and it worked. A cheap 10 dollar upgrade. It allowed us to turn a motherboard that can't be overclocked in to one that could.
We like messing with stuff and experimenting. Always learning. Lots of hardware cannibalizing for parts when we go treasure hunting for junk.
Nothing much new to learn in the Gardening Realm.. Grafting was fun but now its almost 2nd nature and not much of a challenge for us anymore. Hopefully we can grow some Tomato beasts this year.. hoping for a 3 pound + to beat our personal best.
