Get a couple of BBC micro:bit boards. There's something inherently exciting about using code to do tangible things in the real world. I don't know why, but blinking an LED feels totally different to "hello world".
You can start out with a drag-and-drop programming interface and work up to JavaScript or Python. The BBC and their partners have created a wide range of educational resources based on the micro:bit. The boards are really easy to attach to other things and have bluetooth on-board.
