Abstract

This paper is an experience report that describes a computer science based workshop titled Are You Smarter than YOUR 5th Grader? and targeted at fourth through sixth grade female students and parents. The novel approach of including parents as a pair programmer with the student is highlighted. Additionally, the paper probes the impact of this workshop and plans for revision and replication of future workshops.
