PROGRAMMER'S MOM- Needs your help =)
-
Hello recreational and professional programmers. I need you to tell me everything you wish you had access to/known/ been encouraged to explore with programming at a young age. My son has been interested in coding since he was 4. My dad and him began to learn it together for fun, but he has long passed my dad's abilities at age 10. He can write many languages from memory and often hand-writes pages of coding in his notebooks while at school. Sometimes I think he dreams in code. He also really loves math and chemistry. I do not know how to help him. There are no resources available for his age group in our area- it is all geared towards high school students, with a high focus on cyber security (which is awesome, just not alot of choices). He is bored with CodeAcademy. I don't really even understand a lot of what he is saying... Is there an online program for kids, or a well-monitored program with all ages, that he can share his ideas, learn from others, be helped towards the direction he is interested in going? Like, an extracurricular of sorts, but for programmer kids!? Sorry for the long post... any and all advice is welcomed.

Please don't post the same thing in multiple places - you have it in QA as well, and duplicating work doesn't help anyone...
