Summer Camp

[Edwin Pilobello]

Exactly.  There's a world of difference between the applications
approach and hard-core programming.  Consequently, menus and property
lists will only take you so far.  As soon as scripting becomes an issue,
then so does computer science.

Cheers,
Edwin

Hi -
As far as recruiting more girls, I wouldn't call it 
"programming".....I think the word holds certain connotations for 
girls which are unattractive.
The other thing to think about is this, perhaps -- are the kids 
learning "computer" or are they *using* the computer to learn about a 
variety of areas/subjects, or to construct/create ideas, artifacts, 
etc.??, i.e., how can we use computers as the means and not the end?
