What’s the best way to teach my kid programming. I don’t know how. He’s interested. He’s done well in school with Scratch. He’s expressed interest in Python, owns a Thumby, but never gets too far on his own. Instead of a Winter sport, we’re leaning towards a Python class, however there’s none in person. How can i help my kid embrace his passion and learn this skill which will help him his whole life.

He’s got Mu installed and has perused youtube tutorials, but they dont hold his interest. Any help is appreciated. Edit: He’s 10.

    Thanks for the clarification! Yeah I think you’re right that running python on a github page isn’t possible (at least not straightorward). Replit might be closer to what you’re looking for in that regard. I love it because it handles setting up your programming environment for you and lets you dive right into what you actually want to do (write and run code). Sharing the link to your project lets anyone open it up and run it in their browser!
