Thanks for sharing!

I'm curious about your approach. I expected that, as you're targeting kids, you'd start with something like 'hello world' before going into the distinction between high-level languages and assembly.

Do most of the kids you teach understand and recall the things you mention in the introductory/foundational videos?

(I have almost no experience teaching kids to code.)

The introductory video were linked to the curriculum the department was following and so I put things in the same order to match what was being done. When I normally teach it I skip to the hello world portions first and then later come back to those first 3-4 videos.

The programming videos themselves go, in my opinion, quite slowly, which I found helped many kids.
