AutoHotkey is a great way to get your kids coding. Not sure if there's anything like it for what kids use most nowadays, iOS and Android tablets, but having them make macros and letting them manipulate their favorite piece of software in ways they didn't think possible is usually an eye opener.

Edit: I'd add SpaceSniffer to this list.

Tasked is like an Android version of AutoHotKey. You can even use it to create APKs, which you can distribute in the Play store. I've used it to do loads of things, like unlock my phone based on WiFi, send automatic responses, and log the GPS coordinates when I leave the car.

There's on{X} [1], but I haven't used it myself.
