My friend's child has an affinity for all things computer-related and his parents would like to encourage this either through afterschooling in computer programming, etc.... or through covertly educational software or educational online game-type activities. Basically, they don't want the boy to "know" it's educational because he will balk at it but if it just seems like something fun to do he will be over the moon.

Do you know of anything like this? I don't use the computer a lot for our homeschooling program.
