Start with scratch in any age. It will learn how to get basic understanding of how each element of a program needs to be told what to do.

Scratch is made by MIT

If you want to proceed with game program:

You can start with ReadyMaker with Unity export. And get free classes from YouTube of unity shop for free.

On osx Apple user get Xcode and swift playgrounds to learn about the big ecosystem on Apple devices.

Want to get more broader learn Python.

https://inventwithpython.com/ Or study on python turtle with repl.it so you don’t have to install anything.

Want to work with your hands and brains?

Use cozmo from Anki with iPad and computer.

You are able to program with python and steer a movable robot with speech and camera.

Want to keep it simpler use microbits hardware with JavaScript or python or scratch style programming

Want to get deeper

Go to code.org for deeper lessons and app building. Or check projects.raspberrypi.org

Or free codecamp.

What ever you learn use journaling and mindmap to get an idea of what you know and where your skills gap is.

Journaling will give you hope when you get stuck and want to give up. You read back on earlier lessons and get hope of where you started.

Want to get more advanced?

Learn git gitlab and GitHub deploy a simpel hello world app. Or get on pythonanywhere with a website. Get to know DigitalOcean or ci/cd concepts. Study AWS and kubernetes.

And uml. For game dev study Unity and unreal and blender.

That is my advice. Study be curious and enjoiy and be happy of being an developer. No matter if you copy exciting software concept for learning purpose. Or made something small move blink or whatever. Enjoy the experience.

Machinelearningforkids.com and computrain on YouTube will give you a start

Python and JavaScript

Depends what your app is deployed to. Browser iOS or Android. Is it an game? Use readymaker.io is it an tool orGame perhaps use Xcode with swift and check YouTube video’s from made by Yuma for swift games. Is it an tool? Check code.org app maker with drag and drop.

I teach kids Python turtle and flask with help of repl.it We make the kids draw basic shapes like boxes and circles and later faces or trees.We show the whole syntax and help them use for loops to use less code. With flask and random we make a quote generator or twister colour tool. Like hand on green foot on blue. Also made a free website for kids on Google on request.
