If you have access to a Parrot AR Drone or other programmable drone, you can have them script out how to make the drone fly. I'm dating myself here, but you can use the Logo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language) examples but in real life instead of a turtle drawing on the screen. Ask them what they want it to do, "do a flip" will be the most likely answer. Well, what do you need to do for that, we need to take off, then what do we need to do... and so on and so on.
