Force them to learn C at a young age.
Dylan Williams
A computer
Might need a compiler
and a editor of some sort
Jack Williams
A dead blow hammer, locked door, and a console.
Brody Powell
my dick.
Eli Clark
my doubles

Get them interested
Here's one:
Get them to watch their Mum fumble with tasks that you can automate, then automate it. Once they can see the benefits they'll start mucking around with it.
As the above they'll probably start with scripting and then move over to a actual language.

This ins't computer science, these are anti-predatory classes.

You don't need to do that.
Just train them to fight for women rights and wage gap.

Seriously, just set them up with LOVE or Unity3D or fucking Flash or whatever, they'll learn while actually doing something engaging. Game dev will gradually introduces them to srs topics:
* Physics
* Procedural generation (even just simple shit like "how do I generate a random starfield for my asteroids clone?")
* Performance optimization
* AI for NPCs
* Data structures
* Data marshalling / serialization (save game, level editors...)
source: I am a pretty successful software engineer today at a "large online retailer" and started programming by making shitty games in some long-lost dialect of basic when i was 13
