I would refer you to high school teacher, co-webmaster of the "Open
Book Project" and "Python Bibliotheca" sites, and author of "How to Think
Like a Computer Scientist (Python Edition)", Jeff Elkner.  His web
site is:

   http://www.elkner.net/

He and his students are also responsible for Guido Van Robot (GvR) and
the Yorktown High School Libre Users Group.  He was a presenter at
last week's PyCon 2004.  (Links to all of the above as well as some
papers and articles he's written are on the web page.)
