For the 2nd year I am teaching high school computer programming. Last year I taught what amounted to a collage level intro course in C#. The students were less then thrilled. The second half of the year we did uC development which was fun but most of the students quit after the first semester.
This year I am billing the class as a robot building class using PICs and C. We will start with simple mindless line followers and as the students progress we can add processors to control them. The idea is not so much to teach a rounded coarse as to get the kids hooked on com sci or engineering.
For the second semester I am thinking of switching to C# to do some UI work and simple game programming.
Any suggestions regarding projects or other helpful info would be welcome. Budget is limited but there are only 4 students.
