Glad to see this post and read all of other comments. Currently as a senior designer, I always wanted to be an engineer when I was a kid, so deep into computers and electronics. But my environment didn't allowed me to become one, and I always resent this. So this summer I started a "Summer Code Camp" with my nephew (14), bright kid, also into computers but also living hard times to learn stuff at school, fails at math, and not properly aligned with current education system to learn. So we started from the beginning, I only know HTML, CSS and basic Javascript. Using freecodecamp.org for our lessons, at first we started physical, I go to him couple of times each week for our sessions, to warm things up, once he get used to the website and basic structure of the code, we build a Discord channel for video meetings, sharing screens, and channels for resources, inspirations, docs and archive. He plays basketball at school team and really into the game, NBA fan, of course a gamer. So we are keeping our conversations around them, building stuff for these topics. Installed Visual Studio Code to his computer so he can use the code he learned offline and build stuff from there. His interest is growing each day, but of course as a kid he lacks of disipline. Which is not important at that point actually, because we're having fun. Hope to take this to the next level once we started Javascript and build more dynamic stuff. As the schools are opening next week, I'll teach him how to deploy stuff and show off to his friends. Also thinking this can be good way to make things stick more deeply. Kids like to show off. The Hacker Way. This is the way.
