This link was circulating over the weekend: how do you explain computer programming to a 15 year old in 30 minutes or less?
http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/84866/30-minutes-to-explain-programming-to-a-15-year-old What I like most about these answers is that they should work even when time is short and kids already use computers at home. There are some quick exercises and thought experiments to help understand code in a way that everyday computer use shields us from.
