I am a novice myself, but yesterday I signed up my Grandson to Coinbase and sent him $30 in Bitcoin. I showed him all the other coins offered there, explained stable coins to him, how to buy low and sell high, but mostly just leave it there and watch it if he wants or not. He is 18 and it was his first act as an 'adult'. It was a lot of fun and he seemed to catch on pretty easily. He and his friends seem to have no clue about Bitcoin or Crypto oddly. I just made it as easy as possible. I am not sure if that was a good way to go about it, but its about all I can do. My husband is the techie guy and has a better grasp.

Then send the techie after them!

GG on your part, though, you've thrown the first stone... Whatever that means, I'm sure one can find some philosophical wisdom in that.

Well the wisdom is for these kids, is if it isn't easy I'm not going to do it. Stick the toe in the water is my philosophy, if its good then maybe they will jump in and want to learn more, that's as much as I can do, and is pretty much my philosophy with most things, its up to people to want something, the old adage, "you can lead a horse to water" holds.
