Abstract
In this paper we describe a set of computing activities that were used in an outreach enrichment program for middle school girls. The computing activities used a combination of scaffolded examples and minimalist workbooks to introduce and support interaction with computational thinking (CT) concepts, including problem solving abstraction and basic computational vocabulary. We describe the activities briefly, followed by a discussion of the girls' experiences, drawing primarily from interviews conducted at the end of each activity. Copyright © 2013 ACM.
