[Chicago] Teaching kids programming

[Phil Robare]

There has been some discussion here about teaching kids programming.  I came
across this site http://stratolab.com/courses/lunarrepair/ as a link from
the CherryPy site.  They are located in NYC and say " Although the workshop
is set in fantasy, the programming you learn is real. This course teaches
the basics of computer programming using the
Python<http://stratolab.com/misc/python>language, including
algorithms, variables, loops, and functions. You learn
cartesian (X-Y) coordinates and simple algebra to draw shapes and make
things move. Finally, a reason to learn math."  Maybe they could be invited
to be part of the kids track at Chicago's pyCon?
