I’m not saying show them the code. But there are simple ways you can explain to kids what a NFC chip is and how that NFC chip lets them play the movies they want.
I loved learning about how computers worked when I was a little kid. My (much) older brother taught me all about how the Apple II worked when I was 6, and within a few months, I knew enough to use it myself. I had important games to play, but I still wanted to know how it all worked.
What evidence do you have that most children aren’t interested in learning how things work? Because there are a lot of children’s books about how things work.

Of course. But when a kid has important Good Dinosaur things to do, they’re not going to care

And your sample sized is a biased 1.
