Projects for approx 11 year olds?

Hi all,

Anybody have suggestions for projects (3D modelling, Karel, whatever) that have worked out well as one-session activities for kids around 11?  Most of what I’ve been able to find on my own either doesn’t suit our drop-in context or is too hard for younger kids.

Thoughts?

I found that kids of varying age had fun with the beginner Karel program, though after a while those that showed a proficiency wanted more of a challenge.

That sounds like a good idea! I’ll try that out on them this coming session and see if it works  better. They liked Python I but it was very difficult and we got a lot of attrition based on it being just too hard.
