perfect one to bring into my Middle School computer science classes. We had covered scratch already and I wanted to give them something that felt like "real coding." (Somehow if they are not typing in commands they sometimes think they are not really writing code.) I wanted something that would grab their attention right away, and not have a long lead in. I found the Hour of Code tutorial for Processing. Hello Processing! (https://hello.processing.org/)
This was just what the doctor ordered. It gave me a way to get them started quickly with something they would like. The Hello Processing tutorial is browser based but the full program is easy to use as well and a free download. I have taught Processing as a unit in my class several times since and every time I tweak it a bit.
Here is the latest version of my Processing handout if you are interested:
