Using Raspberry Pi Computers For OSINT And Self-Quantification
One of my favorite uses of a Raspberry Pi computer is Pi-hole. Which is promoted as a network-wide advertisement blocker. By installing Pi-hole on a RPi and attaching said device to your home LAN, a whole new world of OSINT and self-quantification is opened up.

What if your computer beeps each time it sends data to Google?
https://pi-hole.net/
Easier than you might think to set up. Set and forget. Do it for your family and friends maybe. Sell routers pre-configured maybe.
Not /the/ answer. Just one not-nothing step.

.INTERNAL is now reserved for private-use applications
> Home routers can simply assign pi into e.g. pi.home when doing dhcp. Then you can "ping pi" on all systems. It fixes everything- for that reason alone these reserved TLDs are, imo, useful. Unfortunately I've never seen a router do this, but here's hoping.
dnsmasq has this feature. I think it’s commonly available in alternative router firmware.
On my home network, I set up https://pi-hole.net/ for ad blocking, and it uses dnsmasq too. So as my network’s DHCP + DNS server, it automatically adds dns entries for dhcp leases that it hands out.
There are undoubtably other options, but these are the two I’ve worked with.

Best device for a kid to learn how to code?
Thinkpad 431s if you are on a low budget. It's the best performing cheap option, IMO.
Obviously block access to internet nonsense. I just started using ControlD.com and it works like a charm. Or, if you have the time, make the PiHole and your Home Lab & Network Lab a project that you two build together.
Make the command line kid friendly, like using bat instead of cat and LSD instead of ls and so on. Colors are stimulating and fun. Something like the hyper terminal is another idea.
I would appreciate someone building a faster alternative to the hyper terminal in C or Rust.
And then there's Nand to Tetris, which you should pick up together as well.
