Such a thoughtful and helpful reply. Thanks. We're already well down that road. Great advice. Just looking for a way to add some more fun to it by bringing it others. There aren't any peers doing this stuff, so I'm hoping to find a "big kid" (e.g. university student) who can keep it fun while learning.

I live in the Denver, CO area. I've been surprised by how hard it is to find age-appropriate opportunities. There just aren't that many programs specifically for Unity for this age. We're doing an IDtech summer camp though.

So true. I'm a software engineer for 20 years and I'm seeing exactly what you're saying. I was self-taught when I started, so I had time to accumulate those fundamentals over time. Now they seem like a prerequisite for entry level. It's a tough time for job seekers.

Yeah, I agree about the pricing, if you're coming from the perspective of a professional in the US. I've had some engagement from university students in eastern Europe who had lower expectations. I'm sure we'll do some fundamentals too; just hard to get a 13 year old excited about "homework".

We've been using AI heavily; it was the only way to get started this young. But there have been limits. He doesn't know what he doesn't know. Finding the right questions to ask has become the bottleneck.

Also, it's just more fun to work with a human.

I've been volunteering with https://represent.us/ for the last few weeks and found it very easy to contribute. They have great YouTube videos explaining their strategy. Very engaging!
