Abstract
Teaching object-oriented programming skills in six hours to school students who have either never programmed, or who have never encountered object-oriented programming before, is an ambitious task. Within these time and skill limitations, we devised an educational strategy based on learning through exercises, and trialled it with sixty students who attended a three day vacation school. The observations presented in this paper indicate that it is possible to give novices a worthwhile, enlightening and exciting programming experience within a restricted time period.
