I started my embedded engineering journey by blinking an LED on a PIC microcontroller back in 2007. Maybe you can toss them an Arduino development board. Programming by itself could be boring and tedious, but seeing your program actually do things in the real world could be exciting, at least it was for me. There's so much to branch to from there, everything from industrial automation to vehicle navigation to robotics.
Awesome. This is something I have never done either, so this would be cool to consider/add.
