well, i started coding in 1st grade (logo, then basic) but this was a summer program hosted by Johns Hopkins. It was highly theoretical - we learned about DFAs, NFAs, epsilon-NFAs, and turing machines.
Awesome! I started in the 5th grade with Perl (lol) and went to a bunch of summer programs but they were more hands-on and programming based. Very cool. I learned about state machines when I was 16 and would draw my own really complicated ones for fun haha.
