I was offered a job helping students with learning difficulties. I thought about the interview afterwards in which they explained that my role would not really be much of an educational capacity, yet the emphasis was to do so in the most basic sense, like encouraging them to notice things and learn through discovery.

I imagine the task would be a similar problem. Technology viewed from the outside is either workable, or seemingly insurmountable for some of us, but techniology is nothing more than discovery and the application of controlling the technology.

I imagine with certain candidates if there was an understanding of how basic technology can enable independance and the value that brings, the spark can be ignited to follow through to operate and get familiar with the capabilities of a device.

If it was my task to do something like this, I suppose I might try a workshop demonstrating some simple assembly of networked devices. If that can be established and enjoyed, build up from there with media or value exchange. Education is so stale, I almost feel this would be the way to go in most scenarios.
