In view of the likely source of candidates, this is probably one that will
get you down to a short list fairly quickly.

A past colleague of mine had the job of interviewing school leavers for a
possible apprenticeship. This was one of the things he ended up
incorporating into a short tick the box type questionnaire to see if they
had doe things like play with crystal sets and the like to see if they had
some basic electronics knowledge.
