Ask HN: Is a Carnival sized application of Lenz's law possible?

Hacker News - Mon, 10/28/2024 - 7:38pm

I've wondered for a while if it's possible to make a giant Lenz's law ride. Like a blown up version of this [1] video.

I think the experience of falling slowly down a tube would be very interesting.

I know it would be expensive, but money aside, would it be possible in any form?

Ask HN: How do you teach Comp.Sci to your 6-10yo kids?

Hacker News - Mon, 10/28/2024 - 6:52pm

By Comp.Sci I mostly meant: coding basics, logics, sparking curiosity with fiddling with tech in general, develop their own little projects.

They have already played with things like Scratch but it eventually becomes repetitive and they lose interest. They have played with the Turing Tumble and similar. Robotics might be a nice thing to try.

We could make 3 categories, resources they can consume with your guidance (1), resources they can consume alone (2), and games (3).

I'm particularly interested in (1), what resources/projects have education in mind while having an adult guiding them through it?

Thanks for any suggestions!
