Maybe you could do a project together with Microsoft MakeCode and one of their physical devices. The platform talks about games because it's a natural fit for onboarding a kid's interest in programming (or an adult's), I think, but you can write anything with it because it's Typescript under the hood. The Pygamer device is a handheld keyboard-less computer and there are other programmable devices, too, like the Circuit Playground that I think would interest a 5 year old in pair-programming. Because the project uses the Blockly editor, kids can understand and follow the code flow visually before they are able to understand the script. Perhaps best of all, it's free, runs in an emulator in the browser, creates fully open code, and has no ads. https://makecode.com https://makecode.com
