That's how I learned to program! First at 13 and then again at 21!
I don't know if school programming classes do this, but kids like writing games so much that if I were teaching one, I'd just have them write games for the first several years. (Plus you can sneak practically anything into games.)

Did you play video games a lot to the point of writing them at 13 years?

Unity is amazing for game programming

Isn't it too complex/frustrating for a kid? Something simpler with quicker feedback loop like Processing is better for that audience.

I don't know if teachers know this but this is what my friends who were into coding and I did anyway after school.
