QUESTION: What friendly, easy going and engaging material would you give to a high schooler as an “intro to programming”?
BACKGROUND:
I just became speaker for a talk tomorrow on “Data Science and AI” (a friend pulled out and they needed me).
This is for high schoolers.
Basically, as one of the talking points I want to give, I want to tell people that programming and understanding how to code and build things, is going to be really valuable. (Especially since AI and data science is sort of vague and the “high end stuff” hard to access or even irrelevant.)
So as part of this, I want to give them some concrete material or task to do to give them a sense of programming or spark their interest. What should this material or task be? Again, this is high schoolers and it should be friendly.
