Seconding checking out FIRST - their youngest program, Lego League Jr., starts at age 6. FIRST has excellent robotics programs, especially at the middle and high school level. If you're in the US there's a pretty good chance of finding a team local to you [1]. Even if there isn't, creating one is straightforward, although a little pricey [2]. It looks like the FLL Jr. program uses the WeDo 2.0 kits, which look pretty similar to Mindstorms but at a lower cost.
