[Edu-sig] Real world simulations

[Timothy Wilson]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone used simulation-type problems in an introductory programming
class? I'm trying to avoid overly contrived, typical CS class projects in my
course. Since I'm a science teacher too I think it would be great to sneak a
little science past them while they learn programming. Any ideas?

-Tim
