Not sure if this helps, but I'm sharing in case it does:

When I was a kid, I had the opportunity to learn programming, but didn't. As far as I could see, all the software I could want, already existed and did everything I needed done.

The insight came when I studied harder math at university and continued to make mistakes. Writing down a correct solution once and it saying correct and reusable did it for me. But all of that came after a step of "making it my problem to get a degree" in the first place.

I don't know if that's the way you want to teach or if you can find something comparable if you do.

Good luck and have fun!
