Code.org has some fantastic resources too! My friend who teaches tech in high school uses it regularly and has great things to say about it.

If your son enjoys games, there are some really fun options like "Rabbids Coding" which introduces programming basics through gameplay. Another one is "The Farmer Was Replaced" on Steam, and it could be more engaging than traditional courses.

I’d recommend checking out Codingal. They have great instructors and the content is really suitable for kids. It’s a paid platform, but many parents say it’s totally worth the investment!
