Good Time To Start Teaching My Little Brother?

Now that my little bother is turning 12 in a month, I think its a great time to start teaching him some programming. I personally taught me self C++ when I was 12, so I totally think its doable. Now I personally want him to get into robotics when he goes to highschool. So I think a great starting place is the lego robotics at the local middle school. Now I personally never joined since I thought they were all dorks, so I am not sure if they survived for 4 years. My little brother and I have totally different personalities, so he might not like robotics, but hes in the chess club at his school. He doesn't think chess club is lame, he probably will not think robotics is lame either. (He beats me in chess 5 out of 7 games...)


Now is it a good idea to give him a head start in programming or should I wait?

Also since I never tried the lego robotics, will it turn him on or off for the real deal in highschool?

Now he wants to play football too, should I get him to work out? Previous attempts at that failed
