I went to a Microsoft store for a series of classes about coding.Both of which were about free 3d programming environments, with plenty of items and codes to help young/medium aged kids be able to learn the basics of coding. I'll leave the links at the end of the little thing about them, so you can garb them if you want.
Kodu: Kodu is a free program aged for pre-teens with cartoonish models and pictures. Don't underestimate the quality though! It's got a lot of variety, and kids can make anything come of it. It's got a large amount of settings, models, and programs, meaning that a kid without any experience in coding can learn how to use Kodu like *snap*! Link: http://www.kodugamelab.com/.
Edit: Project Spark was eliminated in 2016, and is imposible to download from the Microsoft store.
(Project Spark: Project Spark is a free program aged for teens and young adults. With more models, advanced coding, and a RPG like feel, you can make a great RPG game, or just make some minigames. It requires a little more experience as it kinda just thrusts you out there, but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome! Link: http://welcome.projectspark.com/. )
And that's it. I'm not 'advertising' for Microsoft, but these programs aren't half bad. Try them out if you want.
Adventure Van, Out.
