Neat! Thank you for the pointers.
That makes me really happy.
I'll narrow my request to a suggestion for something easier (indeed, easy enough I can do a bit myself): more documentation and tutorials. I think I'll get on that (although on my own pages; I'm not ambitious enough this month to contribute upstream). I did a fair bit of searching at one point, and didn't find this stuff. Now, I can try to come up with good kids activities.
I will also mention: Most kids can do pretty advanced stuff, if introduced correctly. We've been wedded to a particular order of teaching math for a very long time, which places things like convolutions as late college-level math, and long division as late elementary. In fact, convolution is a lot easier than long division. That's true for a lot of "advanced" math.
