I loved the jump start series when I was a kid, but I'm sure it's unbelievably dated by now. I think I was running it on Win98 😂

No advice here. Best of luck and enjoy the ride.

The play outside module is the best.

While i just dissed on the slop generation machine that is AI. I also think it's a great way to get started with computers in the modern day.

Build one, or take apart & explore an old one for hardware/ foundation learning 🌻

Maybe raspberry pi, theres tons of materials out there (it was literarly created as a teaching platform

What age? Maybe Scratch? Maybe build a we site with him for something he’s interested in?

PS Wishing you all the best! Let me know if you want ideas for other resources etc.

Starting with logic gates would be cool. Or teaching him to bot in runescape

Touch typing is a meta skill so teach that first 🙂

STEAM HAS SOME CODING RELATED GAMES THAT COULD BE A GOOD INTRO TO PROGRAMMING

Tuttle twins have a one time fee home schooling curriculum

My daughter loved rodocodo for programming
