I assume these children in question use all sorts of electronic devices, so it shouldn't be much of an issue to ask if they'd like to learn about how they work and how to control them in a more low-level fashion. There's no age at which this becomes possible or desirable. Children develop vastly differently. I know many people well into their twenties who are still incapable of comprehending software engineering techniques. Every decent programmer I'd ever met learned pretty much completely on their own.

I intended to "expose" to this field in the same sense as kids are exposed (sometimes at an early age) to crafts, drawing, painting, singing, playing musical instruments, growing plants, taking appliances apart. That is, without deciding on their career, just to expose them to a healthy variety of skills and activities, to see if they like them. In the long list of things that kids learn in preschool and school, programming might fit as well. My question is at what age, if at all.
