I recently gave an intro to coding to young Girl Scouts using Pyret (http://www.pyret.org http://www.pyret.org). The screencast is here: https://vimeo.com/163949506 https://vimeo.com/163949506 I had to wing it because the ages turned out to be younger than I expected. I've taught my 6yo son using Racket and Pyret so I had the basic approach already. Although I shot over their heads in spots, overall the girls seemed to be really engaged, as were their parents. For my money, Pyret is THE language for an intro to programming, almost regardless of age.
