Is there a toy for older kids (9-14yo?) that would allow creating a higher level computer? I'm thinking about composable gates, shifters, adders, etc. I want a physical object (not software).

My kids are past basic soldering and playing with LED's and resistors, but below the fully abstracted programming and simulation. Is there something in-between?

That’s old enough for breadboards and discrete components, as well as microcontroller projects. Check out Adafruit for little project kits.
