You’ll want to get an electronics starter kit. There’s zillions of them.
Having said that, the easiest hardware to work with is the rp2040 (RPi Pico) and rp2350 (RPi Pico 2). It’s got USB mass storage support built in which is about as easy as it gets and it does everything and you can use just about any pin for any thing. It really is awesome.
If you can’t find a kit that includes the RPi Pico (or Pico 2) just get a regular kit (e.g. Arduino) and a Pico separately.
Note: I just found this neat thing… https://a.co/d/05qypEzY it looks like it’d be super easy to learn with but you miss out on learning how to use a breadboard but that’s no big deal (you can just do that later).

Thanks for the info. Looks like it would be a lot of fun to tinker around with one of these
