Find a FIRST Lego League (RLL) team for the kid. Maybe buy Lego Mindstorms and Lego Technics for home and when the kid runs out of ideas, give them challenges like a line-following robot or a FLL course. Then move to a FreeNove Ultimate Sarter Kit. I prefer the Arduino Uno based kits, but the ESP32 kits have their place as well.
