I have a potential opportunity to give a 45 minute seminar to local high school students interested in programming. The content would be completely up to me and I’m interested in using [http://try.elm-lang.org](http://try.elm-lang.org) (which appears to be down at the moment) since it requires no development environment and it’s easy to get started.

**Has anyone else conducted something like this before? If so, what material did you cover?**

To keep it fun and interactive I think it’s probably best to stick with visual examples but I’m open to any ideas that have worked in the past!

You can use [ellie-app.com](http://ellie-app.com) instead of [try.elm-lang.org](http://try.elm-lang.org).

Richard Feldman has his full Elm workshop open sourced: [https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-workshop](https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-workshop)  
This might serve you as a source of inspiration!

Though there is one on its way for the brand-new Elm 0.19 release: [https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-0.19-workshop](https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-0.19-workshop)
