Ditto “Let the kid be a kid.”
That said, when my son was a freshman he started off in the school’s science research program (which he hated and dropped out of), but one thing he did as part of that program was read ten articles from *Scientific American * every week. It gave him a good look at all the science out there and we still subscribe to it even though he’s long since graduated. He was much more interested in teaching himself Linux and modding computer games. He ended up majoring in CS and minoring in physics.
