Thanks. I usually admit who I am, but my original post was from a computer at my school, and I cleverly forgot my password.

While I won't be there next year -- I started about a month into the school year, wrong-footed a couple of times and never was able to recover, so I thought leaving was a wise choice -- I do want to help the faculty with their planning for a STEM curriculum next year. I think some computer programming would be a good addition: it teaches a lot of useful problem solving skills. I am looking at Scratch, Blockly, and NetLogo. I won't be in on the implementation, but the two constraints are a) chromebooks (no java) and b) no budge. I asked here because there are a lot of very knowledgeable people here.

I'll take a look at Hackerrank.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
