We got a subscription to Popular Mechanics for my son when was young, and later Popular Science. By the time he was a junior he preferred Scientific American. There is also a robotics magazine.

Science and technology magazines are great reading materials for boys that are not into reading fiction
Depending on the kid’s age, you might want to rip out the advertisements in the back ;)
