I looked at the example for computer science basics for a 7th grader interested in food. Explanations include:

"a list can be used for a recipe"

"a set can be used to list all the unique ingredients you need to buy for a week's meals"

"a map can be used for a cookbook"

"a priority queue can be used to manage orders in a busy restaurant kitchen"

"a food-pairing graph can show which ingredients taste good together"

Maybe I'm over-estimating the taste of 7th graders, but I feel like I would get sick of this really quickly.

My issue with that it's more that those are extremely poor analogies.

The first 3 are simply plain wrong.

GenAI's gonna GenAI I guess.

Maybe you need to ask it for 8th graders to get, "A Petri Net can be used for a recipe"?
