Ask HN: what should I teach high schoolers about web?
I am a volunteer TA at a high school AP computer science class. I volunteered to do one session on web programming. What should I do? I want it to be interactive and have them actually write code. I was thinking have them do something in js fiddle. Any ideas or recommendations? I can't install anything on the machines but they all have chrome on them. So it will have to be some cloud IDE of sorts.
They are into YouTube, reddit and twitter so maybe something with using their APIs???
- davidsmith8900 13y ago- How much time do you have? If you have about an hour or 2, (since you want interactivity + code), I wouldn't mind bringing in an Arduino and have them control it through the web or with code. Something along this line ~> http://www.instructables.com/id/Create-an-internet-controlled-robot-using-Livebots/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Create-an-internet-controlle... but cut short. That will be cool.
