Hi,Three days is not long if they are starting from zero. �See if you can prime them by getting them to first play the game Kodable on the iPad, before they get there. �Then you'll have more impact. �I have my young kids playing it and its worth trying it out yourself.
I would like to hear an opinion from you. I need to organize a 3-day project with high-school students. In short they will come to our University and I am the responsible to guide them to do �something� to introduce them to programming.
The assumption is that they have zero background about programming. In this mailing list I�ve read a couple of previous discussions about how to start to use Pharo and ST for educational purposes, but I�d love to collect additional opinions.
Visual programming is one of the thing that came to my mind. I though about Phratch. Michele suggested me to look also at Etoys (squeakland.org) and I will start to look at thesee two tools in the next days.
Any opinion, proposal, tool, article, suggestion, hint on the topic is really welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Roberto
