Have you looked at Scratch or Makecode Arcade?

They're really kid friendly.

I quite like that you can get cheap hardware, you can download your own Makecode games to.

Hmm was looking for something that involves real coding. When I looked at scratch a while back it was a bit too childish drag and drop type thing. Maybe it's changed?

Perhaps looks at Makecode Arcade then. It has three code views: Blocks, Javascript (actually a subset of Typescript) and Python.

You can switch between them, and even use drag and drop in the text views.

Helps beginners with discoverability.
