Ask HN: What to Include in Talk for Kids?

Posted by zepvz on Monday May 18, 2020 @10:04AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have an opportunity to give an online talk to younger kids (9-13). It's supposed to be educational, though I have the liberty to choose the topic. I wanted to introduce programming and engineering to them and show how one is able to build cool things with it. Has anyone done anything like this before? I would appreciate any feedback.

While suppressors do not make the weapon quiet, the firearm could be outfitted with subsonic ammunition which by itself is very nearly silent[1] even with larger rifle calibers[2]. Though to be fair the ballistics on subsonic ammunition doesn't even compare to supersonic ammunition which is why they see little practical use. But for a 007 type character who normally engages in very close range that should make complete sense.
