Start them in Javascript/Typescript, CSS or SCSS/Less, and possibly React or Angular. You can forego Angular and React for pure HTML5 Web development.

The nice thing about Angular, is you can create a fully runnable project by typing in "ng new projectname" then followed by "ng serve" takes literally 2 seconds to do. Have a built in server, uses typescript, which can handle pure javascript...

They'll enjoy doing the web stuff. After a while teach them C# and ASP.NET core for back end.

Just an idea....

Hmm, an interesting route truly! Web Development is something I definitely feel is enjoyable to learn and something that can truly intrigue by allowing one to see results immediately. JavaScript will help also help her experience basic programming fundamentals like variables, conditions, loops and OOP concepts.

Thank you for your input!
