Many schools don’t have a programming course where kids can develop their coding skills. If I became a teacher, I would SO start a Programming Club for kids who are interested.
I started programming in high school my senior year with Pascal. It was MAGICAL. Love at first sight. [I was going to say "at first site," but Pascal is not a website programming tool… So my little punn wouldn’t have worked] I loved how much like a game it was! I’d love to pass on that love to kids who want to be there and feel it, too.
I’d probably start with Java, so they can learn about APIs. I don’t know exactly what are the goals of a club… Are we supposed to have a final project, or presentation, or anything like that? I don’t know, I’m sure it will come to me.
