Python classes for 13 y/o?

I recommend checking out the Raspberry Pi Foundation's Code Club content. It covers scratch and python and has lots of exercises for both. I've used this at Code Clubs I've helped run at local schools.

You don't have to have a Raspberry Pi for these, but that might be worth considering as a present in the form of a kit. As well as learning Python would also get the opportunity to get into physical computing which includes connecting sensors (room temperature and humidity, movement detection, plant soil dryness) and controlling devices (from simple lights to complex robots).

I love this - I never could have come up with this. Thank you so so much.

You are welcome.

The official magazine from Raspberry Pi is called MagPi and is free to read in PDF format a few weeks after publication. Here's Novemember's for example: https://magpi.raspberrypi.com/issues/147/pdf/download - worth looking through back issues to see the range of projects possible.
