[starlogo-users] tutorials for tutors - how to teach a high school kid LOGO

[Emre Sevinc]

Hi,

I'm a professional programmer and cognitive science M.A. student.
Currently I'm trying to use StarLogo to teach programming to
the sister of a friend of mine. She's 16 years old. She was
quick to grasp the basic concepts and able to create simple
procedures to draw multiple triangles, squares, different shapes,
etc. using the primitives of StarLogo. 

Now I need to create some coursework for her in order to motivate
her and at the same time present challeges.

Are there any web pages that present examples, homeworks, exercises,
etc. for a 16 year-old kid (based on previous experiences I can
tell she's quite smart and can get bored if the challenge is too easy)
who didn't have any formal education in computer programming (she's
also learning how to create web pages using plain HTML and his elder
brother, my partner, is planning to teach her some basic JScript and server
side ASP programming).
