During this turbulent time of a pandemic, you may be looking for something to keep your teenagers engaged and make them better prepared for the future. Here is my suggestion:"130 Excel Simulations in Action": https://www.amazon.com/dp/1978429878

It has 130 engaging projects that you can do on your computer, if you have the program Excel (part of Microsoft Office) on your PC. The book tells you how to do each simulation and gives you also the solutions if you get stuck. It's not only very entertaining but also very educational.

Another option might be to learn how to program in Visual Basic. Programming is something young people may want to learn in preparation for the job market. Here is the perfect book for you: "100 Excel VBA Simulations" at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1540445178

If you want to learn the basics of Visual Basics in Excel first (and have a PC with a CD-ROM drive), try this: "Excel 2013 VBA" at https://www.amazon.com/dp/161547031X

Who am I? I am a scientist, writer, speaker, and consultant, working at the interface of science and religion, creation and evolution, faith and reason. By training, I am a human biologist who specialized in human genetics. I also earned a doctorate in the philosophy of science. I studied and worked at universities in Europe and the United States. Because I learned how to use computers for research in population-genetics, I also used to train scientists to use computers and help them programming.
