I volunteer for Black Girls Code, specifically the 9-11 year old age group, and the last thing I did that really blew their minds was build an Obby in Roblox. Almost all of them have watched youtubers go through them. Get one working, modify it, have a kid or two modify it on their own.

To save someone else a search:

obby means "obstacle course"

Nice. I've just started coding roblox with my daughter (8). She plays and watches roblox players on youtube and I noticed you can make your own. So I took the time to start learning how to create a basic level and we did it together. We created a zombie tag with a large playhouse. She loved being able to manipulate the world. And she now has plans to make her own levels and youtube videos.

Edit: found roblox has an education page https://education.roblox.com/

Oh yeah that's a good idea too my niece loves those for some reason.
