8th grade (about 13 years old), in an afterschool program that taught basic html/css/js on Geocities.

I'll never forget my black-background with red-text Metallica fan site with a "views" counter. 😅

In high school I picked up "C++ for Dummies" and did some maze-navigating Lego Mindstorms. The school was an Engineering Magnet school, so we got to work with a lot of cool stuff, even making a rocket that broke the sound barrier. I helped put together the electronic payload...but it was destroyed in the fall.
