Ask HN: Teaching Python to 16 yo as their first PL. Fun projects to get started?
This year, I have a class of 12 kids in eleventh grade (in French, we call them "Première") to whom I'm supposed to teach this new "Numerical and Computer Science" class [0].
The program is actually pretty interesting (by school standards). The course used to be in Java, but switched to Python two years ago. It's intended for complete beginners and aims at explaining basic CS concepts through Python.
I'm supposed to give them both individual and small group assignments in Python. I found some stuff on the Internet of course, but do you recommend any website, resource, idea for young newcomers?
