If I were going to do with for my kids (Raising Kids, Educating Kids In Nyc) what would we do? (Curricul Um)

goal: encourage kids to be Renaissance Man, HackEr, Design Er

buy each a LapTop (OLPC) and Digital Camera

• Pen Tablet

• Simulat Ion-oriented Computer Game-s

find sketching medium that's convenient to use in other places (charcoal makes too much hand and floor mess)

• would we need scanner, or is Digital Camera enough to capture?

get out of the house daily for lots of walking

teach them to do housework with me, run errands together

field trips

• sketching or photos

• museums, etc.

• public spaces: empty and busy

• try to get in the "back rooms" to see how places run, what people do

lots of Reading And Writing

• fiction (incl SciFi) and non-fiction

• whatever interests them

• Wiki Pedia

• Some sort of Thinking Space for each. (OLPC has WiKi)

  • integrate into Photo Sharing

teach them ScrAtch, then Squeak Small Talk and PyThon

Exposing Young Kids To Science

continue Martial Art

continue [Piano Lessons], plus I teach them Recorder, we play group music

do some kind of StartUp/SmallCo?
