wow that’s wild. I’ve never even tried anything in those games engines because it’s extremely overwhelming interface.

If he is interested in game development, I recommend buying a couple Udemy courses on Unreal Engine development.
You will need to make sure your MacBook is powerful enough to run the unreal engine development IDE.
But if it is, he will be able. To quickly put something things together and see the results.
My son(9 years old at the time) put together a small game over a summer via a udemy course and unreal engine.

Or alternatively Godot. IMHO it’s a lot simpler to get basic stuff working. The editor can run on a much lower spec machine than unreal and GDscript is good stepping stone between scratch and languages like c#.
