I have run a 2 day course @ the University of New South Wales (UNSW) for gifted 10 - 11 year olds as part of the Junior Scientia program for gifted children. However, this was using java not Python. I based the course on a book by a teacher [Jeff Spence - Teaching Java applet Games ... used to be available from java4schools.com] who had been on exchange in my home town. I expect the livewires course would be just as suitable. if you email me offlist I will zip the course and send it to you - it is all web based so can run off an intranet. At UNSW I found it easiest to drop all of the "stuff" in the html dir of the unix account I used - which made it live to the world via Internet. The classes could then go directly to the URL to access all materials. --- edu-sig-request@python.org wrote:

Has anyone here had experience teaching Python to Elementary School children 9 to 12 years of age? This kids are part of a gifted students elective program (upwards of 120 students) in the area where I live. I am in the planning stages of a 3 part series (18 weeks) covering beginning Python and would appreciate hearing about any experience and/or advice you might have.

Thanks,

Dave Lanham LGICS
