By the way, if I were a highschool student, I would totally take a programming class in this vein, so don't take me the wrong way.

May I suggest age-segmented lessons? Pretty pictures for a little kids who want to play with it, and a focused curriculum for older kids?

Of course, you can't teach 6 year olds the same way you teach 12 year olds, their brains aren't even fully formed yet. That was already a given ;)
