What? Blender? For beginners?! It looks to me like you're intent on using free software, which makes you a solution in search of a problem. When you front up with these ideas, it's going to be readily apparent that these are not good answers for making IT an attractive and appealing field. Inappropriate advocation does more damage to the objectives of GNU and free software, as it causes people who are otherwise receptive to examine the proposed solutions and conclude that people are more enthusiastic than the products really warrant. I would advise that you only propose an option when it is a real solution, and I'm not seeing that Python, Blender, Enlightenment or Squeak are valid answers to the problem of making programming appealing to those who haven't experienced it before.
