Computer Programming for everyone: http://www.mlab.uiah.fi/~eye/python/ While I think R is a wonderful tool, it may be a bit too specialised for a 13 year old, unless he has a serious mathematical bent. I'd also recommend Python (both for introducing people to programming and in general), but for quickly getting results with graphics, Logo is unbeatable.
