For a seven-year-old? MIT's Scratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/

Once they are comfortable with scratch you can get them a Raspberry Pi and develop hardware-software projects depending on their interest.

Knowing Scratch also helps to get them into game development.

Lastly, after getting Scratch you can get the kid a Lego Mindstorms kit and build robots, musical intruments, etc.

Awesome. Was just told that Lego Mindstorms is the way to go as well. I'll start with scratch and we'll go from there. Thank you!
