Thanks for all your help guys..Not sure if he loves coding but he use to make simple programs with adreno i had got him sometime back. I am not pushing much but I feel an early start would make him more interested in coding eventually shaping his career. Of course I am not being pushy its his choice after all.
These days it seems coders are the best paid folk in IT industry.
Hey, it's great that the kid is wanting to learn & you are just facilitating exploration. Unfortunately, I'm not a tech guy myself, so unsure what would be a good, fun transition from Arduino. (Think your 'Adreno' was a typo?). Ideally, you'd want something that appeals to him while also giving some exposure to what real-world programming could be like.
There's online courses galore, if you want something that's self-paced & where it is up to one's discipline to complete the course. For eg, Youtube, Udemy, Harvard's & Google's courses on Edx, Coursera etc, But if you want some course where there's streamed weekly classes & assignments given & has a peer group sort of setup, I'm not sure what would be the right one. (There's plenty there as well. But are they good for a teen &/or simply a moneygrab?)
Also, what area do you want to pick? For eg, there's web development, software development, ML/AI etc. What would be fun? (There's something like tensorflow that seems like the projects could be fun for a teen, based on this video) -
Tbh, I'm not the right person to be even talking about this, as I have very limited info, & am myself trying to look at a career between web dev & 3d animation/vfx. So I'll just tag some folks on TE that seem to be in a related field. Hope they can provide better insights -

On a side note, as far as pay is concerned, it seems to be all over the place. (Based on this) -
What is your salary and years of experience?

So just do your research well, if the kid likes programming & is keen on pursuing this as a career later.
HTH.
