Abstract

This paper describes a current project to design an Introductory Computer Science Course for High School students. Problems concerning the choice of hardware, the selection of software, programming language(s) and the overall design of the curriculum are discussed. In addition, some previous related research is summarized and a plan for future activities is outlined.
