This is a drupal feature to allow a large group of friends to coordinate their gaming activity. The original intent is board games, but LAN parties and console games could just as easily be organized using this feature module. Create a list of games, then start adding events and locations for the events. Once that is all setup create tables for games to be played on at the events so that people can sign-up. The signup module allows you to limit the number of people who can sign up for each game so you can be sure that games don't get offered too largely.

ED (Electronic Discovery) is specifically designed to engage a family with a friendly faced gadget which is easy to assemble, write code for and encourages them to interact. Ideally this makes electronics a family hobby rather than something Dad does alone. Older children could find much opportunity to learn a bit about electronics by studying schematics and assembling ED. Younger children's minds will begin to be engaged with the idea of making things and will begin to pickup the basics of electricity as they see schematics built and learn component names.
