Pre-college student learning of web development technologies

This paper reports a pre-college student learning of web development technologies in our college. The Weston Science Scholar Program, a community out-reach program for the past five years, is a program that aimed at high school students. This paper reports our experiences and findings of running this program for the past three years. We offer some thoughts about mentoring pre-college students. Based on the experiences with these pre-college students, we discuss how this may affect the teaching of a general education introduction computing course for college students.
