I'm with Arv and Colin as well. I don't see what's funny about kids learning to wind toroids and bring introduced to ham radio. The abundance of small affordable kits these days could help rekindle the old days of homebrew and heathkit at a much more affordable price point. Lots of kids have great fine motor skills, ie Lego robots builds and other science projects. I'm far from being a kid myself but I don't find toroids to be difficult. They make builds much easier these days to be able to make inductors and transformers of whatever values one might need with a few standardized parts. It used to be that you would have to try and find a specific choke or transformer and maybe special order it, now you can wind it up yourself. A decent magnifying glass or even a smartphone camera really helps older eyes.

Getting kids involved with making toroids is a good idea. Winding a toroid is a fulfilling process, you can see instantly whether you've done a good job or not.

The path has been beaten before.....
