This is really neat. I'm happy that you're encouraging your son to program at such a young age. It really helps to build computer skills to immerse yourself from your early years. I started learning programming using QBasic on my computer at the age of 6. I now know several programming languages and am the go-to person in my friend group for computer help of all kinds. I wish your son the best on his adventures in learning programming.
