Ask HN: Resources for a 10 Year Old?
I've been fortunate this past year and through the pandemic - my friend not so much. His daughter is turning 10 next week, and she's a total "whiz kid" (is that still a term?). I bought her a macbook air (a good one!) because I am excited to see what she can do with it. She loves Minecraft and is already playing some of the more complex mods (AE2, IC2, etc). Looking for advice on where to steer her next! Obviously, being only 10 - whatever she's learning will have to have a fair bit of entertainment focus. I haven't spent much time around kids in general, so I'm hoping some parents/aunts/uncles can chime in here! Thank you!
PS: Explored a few older threads, but times change quickly!

Based on Lua, with built in sprite and music editors makes things super easy and the community is awesome.
