I think the young help keep the old young at heart and the old help the young learn about "real" life. That is one change in the last 50 years or so that is not good for the young or the old. The old are shipped off to "homes" and the young never interact with them. The nuclear family life has be a casualty of the dual income house holds.

I can remember my 90 year old Great Grand Mother watching me a fair bit. I had two Great Aunts that watched me when I was 8-10 an they taught me how to cook and bake. That is a skill I used a lot in my lifetime. I hung out with my Great Grand Fathers and learned skills that I have used my entire life. I welded in the 5th grade.

I can't remember much about the science fair project but I can sure remember the things they taught me about welding.
