How I introduced them was by showing them how to edit the CNN homepage with the browser developer tools.
Being able to edit headlines to be funny (and perhaps somewhat offensive) and share screenshots with their friends really piqued their interest. They then taught their friends how to do it.
Then, they moved onto learning HTML and CSS, which they found kind of fun. After that, they started some basic JavaScript -- at which point they quickly lost interest in webdev.

But they still play with the browser dev tools.
