the merits of teaching SWC/DC to high school students to a broader

No. The Code of Conduct is not 'theoretical'. It is enforceable - as
instructors, we are expected to enforce it at our workshops. The executive

How about SC just do away with the whole code of conduct in general? It's a
theoretical piece of shit and has no practical value. I say this especially
after all the arguing that's transpired over the past 24 hours and my
general disgust with some of the posting of instructors here...[very few on

No thanks. Kick me off then. Also, an explanation as to why it's customary
and good would be helpful. At this point, rather than have to receive
asshole teaching statements; can someone point me to a ideal how-to-guide

This is a great conversation. There are a lot of opportunities for teaching
and helping in instructing for coding for K-12. The current Software
Carpentry and Data Carpentry lessons aren't geared for high schoolers,
because they assume motivated learners - people who are aware of the need

I think what high school students will get out of SWC probably varies
widely by the level of the class or school. My intuition is that there's
probably much more heterogeneity at the high school level in terms of
access to resources, background etc... than you'd find at the graduate
school level.
Hi,
We (Camille Avestruz, Dan Chen, Tim Cerino, and I) taught a workshop two
summers ago to high school kids that age. The workshop was part of a summer
program at Rockefeller University in NYC aimed to put the kids in contact
with real research. They spent a few weeks working with researchers at

My father teaches Computing at a private school in the UK, and I've been up
there to do a number of lessons with his classes. None of them have been
officially SWC, but they've covered very similar ground - although a bit less
practical than I'd have liked.
I've been introduced as "a real-world
