Raspberry Pi or other kit for beginner coder, OR subscription to Lovable or Bolt?

When my kids were really young, I had subscriptions to things for them like Kodable and @Tynker My oldest daughter had fun trying out the free Codemonster page, and then moved on to building her own games. I think she did stuff in Swift playground etc. then I recently shared @Lovable and @bolt.new with her so she's excited about that, but she's also asked for a @Raspberry Pi 5 kit.

For those more tecchy folks in this community, is a Raspberry Pi kit a good investment? (she's about to turn 11). Or should I get her a paid subscription to one of the AI coders instead so she can just vibe code things to her delight? Or are there other resources folks recommend, e.g. coding classes where she'll get more guidance to build something on her own?
