Framework

Not a direct answer to your question I suppose, but the only reason I make decent tech job money now is because as a kid I used to break my dad's computer then had to scramble to figure out how to fix what I broke before he got home. 😅

One time, I took an old server to a school with screwdrivers and had the kids disassemble it. They loved it. They were all like, "I know where the pictures live!" And "This is where the Internet goes in!" It was actually even fun for me, and the teacher had a bunch of questions too.

Best way to turn an old server into scrap.

It always helps for kids to see how things are built/work. Curiosity is piqued, thought process goes beyond surface level use of items. My niece at about 9 was building cad data and running a 3d printer for the parts she designed--engineer in the making

If only education was hands on and real instead of infodumping and homework.

We brought a bunch of old (but still working) computer parts to a Scout meeting, took one machine apart as a demonstration, then let them loose on the pile of hardware to see how many working computers they could build.

Probably not. You could try and use it as prop in teaching but it's not going to be as good hands on experience as a desktop.

The framework components are largely hidden in plastic shells that all look the same. And screws are clearly marked and all connections are EZ.

It's fun to build the DIY but I can't say that there's much to learn that way. It's almost idiot proof.

Change the question to teach parents. Kids know more about computers than adults.
