Abstract
This work develops a set of instructional materials that can be used to teach basic programming concepts to high school students. The materials are tested in a series of on-campus workshops in which undergraduate students lead groups of local high school students in programming a game using Snap!. An independent evaluator assesses the effectiveness of the approach.
