	Whiz Kids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Whiz Kids were ten United States Army Air Forces veterans of World War II who became Ford Motor Company executives in 1946.
		As an extension of the earlier description, the term less famously was later used to describe some members of United States President John F. Kennedy's administration, led by Robert S. McNamara.
		Whiz Kids was also the title of a short-lived 1983 American adventure TV series about a group of teenaged computer hackers who work as amateur detectives when they aren't doing their homework.

		The mission of Whiz Kids is to build relationships between at-risk children and adult mentors through tutoring and mentoring in the Spirit of Christ.
		There are many reasons why Whiz Kids has been so successful in attracting tutors to serve and has grown so quickly, but the main reason according to Wittenberg is because people feel comfortable with the concept of tutoring kids and mentoring in the Spirit of Christ.
		Tutors and kids meet in the comfort of an inner-city church, many of the activities are group oriented and there are many other tutors around for support and encouragement.

		The formula is this: a small group of kids is pushed to greatness on a public stage by heretofore untapped internal forces (that’s the feel-good part that makes the films so charming) and also aggressive, competitive grown-ups (the less-discussed feel-bad part).
		Yet while today’s kids are coddled, they’re also fetishized for behaving like adults; when the barely pubescent dancers of Mad Hot Ballroom dropped their sexiest moves at a screening I attended, the audience breathed a giant awww.
		Kids are rewarded for looking, dressing and especially consuming like grown-ups, and a multibillion-dollar advertising industry tells them how to do so.

		Whiz Kids was a TV show that ran in 1983, around the time of War Games.
		There is definitly some hints of War Games in the show, but to be honest the stuff the kids are doing in the show is pretty crazy, and pretty current.
		In one episode they even trigger the fire sprinklers (just like "Hackers") which of course can't be done since the water is physically stopped at each sprinkler head.

		I'm sure there were as many so-called whiz kids 100 years ago, but there weren't any computers, so they used their talents in other ways.
		A kid who's a brilliant designer and who makes absolutely fabulous graphics or a kid who is a programmer who writes fancy little utilities or cracks into networks have very different talents.
		There are very few kids who become master computer craftspeople through legitimate education channels because there are very few legitimate education channels that permit kids to learn the craft slowly and become established masters at it.
