I would recommend you give them something with short feedback loops, where they get a sense that they're doing something and can actually see it. I think this will peak their interest and see that "Oh, I did that, what else can I do?"
I was twice their age when I began learning how to code and the first time I saw the 200 OK with a "Hello, World!" on my API something in my monkey brain just clicked and I just wanted more.
