Sounds like a good, challenging course for 9th graders, but is there room in the curriculum to provide this course to all kids?
They already have 4 separate courses in math, science, language arts, and social studies/history/poli sci. And an art/music/shop elective. And maybe physical eduction.
Perhaps secondary school math instruction should evolve to include basic CS concepts? (Or blend CS into a combined math/science/CS double-length course?)
A minor quibble: the first line of code listed on the web site is:
Polygon(72, 47, 85, 65, 55, 66, fill='lightGreen')
Named arguments instead of raw integers might help kids keep the argument/parameter relationship front and center.
