A cool python script to get teen learning python excited about programming? [closed]

Question

So I'm teaching a friends son some python programming, just going through control of flow, basic data types/structures.

I want to go through a tutorial with him, and hopefully build something simple yet cool to get him excited about the power of python.

Any ideas?

If he's into math, http://projecteuler.net/ might be worth checking out with him.

What is Project Euler?

Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
