    www.innerbody.com is a good site to waste time. It has very good 3d models of parts of the body so you can understand what is where and what the fuctions are.

Yesterday she read the first chapter from a Ruth Bader Ginsburg book and we watched a video over the 3 branches of government. Today I had her read one of the profiles from a "successful women of the world" book that I got her. We watched a video about misinformation online.

    As a side note, Raspberry Pi is a great toy for many skill levels. In addition to the big MAME cabinet with a PC tower I listed above, you can make a more portable table top one like this. I helped my friend make one a few years back and its a blast. I will see if he can send me pics or video of it in action:



    EDIT: Note, we did NOT mill the wood ourselves for the cabinet.

    We got the cabinet pre-fabricated from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/market/bartop_arcade

    Buttons and Joysticks from retailers like this: https://www.diyretroarcade.com (the wiring is all plug and unplug, very easy! I also learned the difference between Japan and USA style arcade sticks and buttons)

    And I designed the wrap graphics and lighted marquee here: https://www.gameongrafix.com

    At the time took about $300 and a few months off and on. We had the CRT monitor so that saved some money. You can also just buy an emulator box that goes right into your HDTV if thats easier: https://www.retrogaminghouse.com/pro...ole-system-20k
