Ask HN: My 11 year old child wants to learn programming, where to start?

My 11 year old has expressed interest in learning to program. His primary inspiration is games. I would assume this is common, although not how I got started. I’d like any thoughts, suggestions, or resources anyone may have. Thanks.
