My experience of C++ was getting one of those huge door-stop books and going through it - I recall every code snippet had a bug in it :-( I could fix them, but... got bored. lol.
I enjoyed Assembly - which is largely useless - as it shows the computer as an abacus!
I started with basic and found it easy as, so can see no reason she would not, remember rubics cubes? I used to get so frustrated with them I threw them at walls, she does 1 in 2 minutes max, little beggar she is 😀
One tool I used with my kid - as culture here is yet another shopping mall - is https://artsandculture.google.com/explore
can walk around lots of museums.
sure, not same as being there, but at least you won't need a prick and a mask.
No pricks here except politicians and no masks, never worn one even though they were mandated for 18 months, never had a fine neither.
I was thinking more of flying restrictions. We were planning on a trip to London back in 2020.
My kid also struggles with the motivation to code. I may have to sit and think of a different pedagogy - kids are not just small adults, lmao. I mean, when I teach her maths or science, she says its very easy - coz I separate out the ideas from the formalisms (be they formulas or symbols), so that algebra is just a kind of grammar of numbers.
So... coding is kinda a grammar of logic, so helps to understand logic before encoding it. eg we've done iterative loops, and when they converge and diverge - and that she found interesting.
I still haven't cracked the motivation code.

I know that feeling well.
