True, but I think the emphasis would be on helping them channel their ability
in the right direction. What you might find is that these kids have a talent
which we can help harness, and direct. This might potentially help them with a
meaningful career in the future. What we tend to see is raw talent,
unproductive and mis-directed.
This particular kid wants a career in IT, but I am very sure he doesnt know
what. This might help him channel his thoughts in the right direction, and be
better informed when he makes his choice.
But then, I might be wrong, and we might just be dealing with seasoned Hackers.
Thanks
Patrick

The risk here is that as soon as it's something organized by adults, the chase
loses its attraction. OTOH, setting up a lab-network and telling them to hack
this and this computer and find a file containing this particular text, might
set them off. Kinda' like a treasure hunt. The coin has two sides though, as
always. They might use the same techniques to hack you sharp production
network, "just to see if it's possible". ;-)
