My teenager is learning Python and a few other languages. Never had them "take" to a hobby like this. Ideas for XMas gifts and other ways to support?

• Arduino

  139 14,005 0.0 Java

  Arduino IDE 1.x (by arduino)

  

• ExpansionCards

  1,136 769 4.6 OpenSCAD

  Reference designs and documentation to create Expansion Cards for the Framework Laptop

  

A good laptop that can last him very long. Programmers sometimes never turn off their laptops so you can consider it essential. If budget is not an issue, I suggest looking into a frame.work one.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• aseprite

  Animated sprite editor & pixel art tool (Windows, macOS, Linux)

  

Would your teenager enjoy making games? There are good free game engines like Godot, but the tools to make the art cost some money. If your teenager is also artistic you could get them a Wacom tablet and graphics program like https://www.aseprite.org/
