I'm not much ahead of your kids...but I've got the mechanical interest. Despite growing up in the age of video games, I still tinkered and tore apart and put things together and stuff...I think it's just some people's nature. As far as video games go, I think there would be a good bridge between the subjects if the kids are playing stuff like Gran Turismo or Forza, which rely on technical aspects that can be demonstrated in practice.
