<p>@ seamazing- thanks so much! I will tell my daughter. We already stumbled upon the Stanford CS lectures and the newboston.com videos. it is amazing how much is out there at no cost. BTW: daughter just attended the STEM program at USNA in Annapolis and really enjoyed. Since my earlier posting she did go ahead and start the CS Programming 1 through Florida Virtual and is in a 28 day grace period. They start with Python and after the first module, they receive a little “Scribbler” robot. She seems interested! She will skip the business programming at the school but is taking Cisco networking and will be on the Cyber patriots team this year so it should keep her busy and give her a good idea of whether or not she wants to major in CS in college.</p>
