Not quite what you're asking about, but there is the Hour of Code
(https://hourofcode.com/) which is really just for beginners.  I've
been to one session here in Hong Kong and it was "ok".  But, it's easy
to get someone into it.  But at some stage, you have to think of
something when they've reached the next level.  Or, what do you do
when you have a room full of people from different backgrounds.  Let
the experienced programmers help the beginners?  Yes, that's one
way...but that's not too much fun in the long run...

At least, that's why I only went once.
