I'm one of the founders of ImagineK12-backed Tutorcloud.com. We've been talking to lots of parents who want their kids to learn a little programming. We'd like to help them, and we need your help.<p>Specifically....Recommend a project we can use in our Intro to Android Programming workshop.<p>These kids are 12-16 years old. No programming experience. Eager to learn. Dying to build "cool apps". What could we build with them?<p>The workshop is only 4 hours long. Can we build something kids will think is cool in that time?<p>Comment here, or contact me directly. And if you're interested in teaching teenagers in the Bay Area, or online, drop me a line as well.

Don, a local developer, put this together for a two part meetup group:<p><a href="http://blog.machineinteractive.com/2011/05/reflections-on-running-android-game.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.machineinteractive.com/2011/05/reflections-on-ru...</a><p>Includes full code for the app on github. He also did a quick gps + yahoo weather api which isn't as exciting, but, might fit the time constraints.<p>Don also uses processing.org for a lot of projects which is a pretty good learning environment - though, not android. Peruse his blog for more stuff.<p>He also wrote the Myxer.fm Android app.
