The BBC Micro:bit is a small educational board. It is equipped with an ARM Cortex-M4F nRF52833 microcontroller, a 5โจ5 LED matrix, 3 buttons (one of which is touch-sensitive), a microphone, a speaker, Bluetooth capabilities, and much more. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
[Disclaimer: I work at the BBC.] ...later on, the BBC made[0] the micro:bit[1], another ยฃ15 (well, around ยฃ15 back then for the V1) computer to inspire young programmers. Funny to think that little did the BBC know that they'd be creating their own cheap computer. [0]: Well, the BBC didn't _make_ it exactly โ rather, the development and manufacturing was subcontracted to third-party companies (though some people... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Https://microbit.org/ are really good in my experience too, maybe a little bit dated now and they seem to have lost momentum, but they're super cheap and providing something physical that you can actually code is pretty exciting to a lot of kids. Source: about 3 years ago
Comprehensive Rust ๐ฆ: Bare-Metal: a 1-day class on how to use Rust for bare-metal development. You will learn what no_std is and see how you can write firmware for microcontrollers (a micro:bit) and well as how to write drivers for a more powerful application processor (using Qemu).

Kids in the UK (and elsewhere?) can access the Micro:bit computer[0], while not the same and powerful/extendable as R Pi - it is cheap, good and plenty available. It includes a LED display and motion sensor. Kids can program it using "block coding", or write Python code that runs with the help of MicroPython[1].

There is also Unity Learn's Create with Code that also has a teacher trainingthat goes with it. BitsBox is also great, my kids started out with it, and then moved onto Create With Code. Source: over 3 years ago
Maybe try Bitsbox? It teaches Javascript by making games. They can share the games with their friends, and it also leaves a lot of room for them to modify the games using what they learned. It teaches a lot of programming skills that are useful later. There is also Google's CS First, that's free and has a lot of different projects. It even has themes like games, sports, arts and stories so it might appeal to more... Source: almost 5 years ago
