A summer programming workshop for middle school girls

Westminster College runs a math, science, and computing summer camp for middle school girls called AWE+SUM. Core to the camp is a set of workshops that allow for creative hands-on experiments and exploration. One of the most popular workshops is called "Programming with Alice'" where we introduce the girls to programming concepts through Carnegie Mellon University's Alice software. This paper describes our experiences in running this workshop five times over the past three years.
