Ask HN: How can I get people interested in programming?

I'm a programmer since 2000 and I love it.

I know some people - varying from age 14 to ~35 - who still don't know what to do their lives, and I'd would like to introduce them to programming, maybe they'll get interested and start building cool things.

What is a efficient way to do so? Bonus points if:

- I can get the job done (raise interest in programming) by pairing in front of the computer for 30 minutes

- It involves some python

- It doesn't involve a lot of math

- It doesn't require them to know english.
