One of my teenage nephews likes to play with electronics. Soldering kits, that stuff.

I wonder what to buy him as a gift. He did simple kits like 'FM radio' or those silly tetris-like games which use led matrixes.

But what next? Push him into the world of hand soldered SMD or keep in THT?

And what kind of 'soldering kit' to buy.

Does anyone have suggestions?
