For some reason my kid doesn't like programming robots at all and prefers building interactive worlds (like pokemon etc.). We bought an older version of RPG Maker on Steam for just a few euros. They quickly learned how the event system works (which is very powerful and has state variables etc.).
For more traditional programming, writing a text adventure in python or BASIC also found their interest. Kind of this (I obviously helped with the 'while True' line):
room="kitchen"
while True:
if room=="kitchen":
print("You are in the kitchen. There is a door on the left and ...")
command=input()
if command=="left":
room="bedroom"
...
elif room=="bedroom":
...
