16-17 is a little too old for Scratch. I've run dozens of Scratch workshops, and they've managed to deeply engage the students, but they work best with kids under 13 or so. Web programming, RPG Maker/Game Maker, Python/Ruby, Processing, and Arduino are some platforms that work better with teenagers.
