DS9 played a little with Gamemaker when he was 7- but he didn't really understand what he was doing. Sort of like doing math with no numerical understanding- just following the prescribed set of rules. He's doing Python now, self-taught with a book (Python for kids). He seems to be getting a better understanding of what he's doing instead of blindly following steps.

Edited to add: We also love the MIT course and DH has been watching it to head off any questions from DS.
