I think that this experience is very promising. I think that  
announcing introductory classes will motivate some more parents to  
come with their kids. But I am sure that these kids will have very  
different skills, so do we need different levels?

1. What is python? Short introduction into the very basics

2. Advanced beginner course

3. Open Workshops: everybody can come and ask questions
