What are must to teach concepts(in JavaScript)for first time programmers


I am planning 15-day long twitter session for first-time programmers of various background with absolutely no experience in programming.

Aim is to remove their fear of programming so that they can learn on their own anytime once this programme is over.

Please suggest concepts/tasks/links which must include in this session !

Some nice subjects to start talking about would be: - A brief story of programming: How it has born and why; - Why to code?; - What is JS; - Programming paradigms: what are them and usability. - Task: Build a "hello world" code in JS(classic, right?). - Task: A 30 day programming challenge, to make some of these new coders keep on the flow. You can propose something really easy to do to make them want to keep coding.

I am a programmer, and i'd love to recieve some of those tweets in my feed. How can I find you?

Peace out.

Though this ain't strictly a programming concept, Unicodes would be a nice addition. https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/the-absolute-minim...
