Minecraft. After a while they'll want to write their own plugins. They will feel instant power when they learn the can run their own server with their own plugins and can change the actual game! (Worked for my nephew anyway).
Minecraft is great because even vanilla has “programming like” capabilities with red stone.
And then modded Minecraft can take you all the way, as far as you want to go.
Of course, I recommend starting with GregTech New Horizons - if they can survive that they’ll be able to handle anything!
