It depends when you want to teach them. Fundamental coding concepts such as variables and conditionals can be taught at a very early age. I've been a coding instructor for quite some time. We have second and third graders learning loops and functions, fourth and fifth graders learning basic c#, even. It reallt depends on how you teach the concepts and being patient along the way.
