Let’s start coding!

We introduce coding to students from a technical high-school. They do not have any kind of coding language in their curriculum so we can teach them only after classes in extra-curricular activities.
Any student can choose a style of coding: online using code.org platform, offline using Alice (for beginners), Greenfoot, Scratch, Logo, C++ (Code Blocks) or Python. We can enroll them in Cisco or Oracle courses as they wish: C, C++, C++ Advanced (Cisco), Java Fundamentals (Oracle). They also can use info.mcip.ro/ for examples or pbinfo.ro to test their solutions.
We are computer science teachers and we can teach them coding in any language mentioned, as they want. We propose code.org or Alice 3 for beginners and Python for medium level students.
We will propose team projects like games or visual applications and we intend to start a coding competition this week.
We want to give diplomas for any participant.

The event was completed in time and we have success. Our students like it very much and did not want to stop coding. They mostly liked using Alice 3 but they also started to code using code.org and Minecraft. Some of them like Python also.
The real number of students was higher than we expected, almost 170. Some of them are now attracted to a career in IT.
We had guests from other schools, parents, students and teachers from other schools, a psychologist, a representative of local community, a reporter from online press.
