A great strategy in teaching a subject is connecting it with something the pupil already knows and finds interesting. This reference or association makes it meaningful and can motivate them to learn more by themselves.

You can show them what of a superpower programming really is, now they can sense, process and affect things that are normally out of their reach. Let them create a thousand files, read an API, create a bot, crash the system and blink an LED.

They can automate many processes and solve new technical problems or create something entertaining. Maybe a new small website. Or a mod for their favorite game.
