Hi,
I'm about to embark on building a single board computer (an N8VEM) as a project with
my 15yo son.
When I did this sort of thing with my son, the soldering phase took way
too long for his attention span. We had better success with my AVR uC
setup, where we could JAM some code into the uC to blink some lights,
and then build that up into something interesting.
Mind you, my son was 11, so maybe yours has a longer attention span, but
I seem to recall mine was pretty short past 15.
