I post an archive of programming projects for my CS1 course. Some of the early ones may give you ideas for simple things to do. Feel free to take what you want: http://www.cse.msu.edu/~cse231/PracticeOfComputingUsingPython/

If you want to go the math/science route, consider using the Anaconda distribution because it comes with MatPlotLib so you can do some simple plotting, and it is a one-click install on Windows and Mac OS X. An excellent tutorial (for you not them): http://cs.smith.edu/dftwiki/index.php/MatPlotLib_Tutorial_1

You should also consider using Scratch instead: http://scratch.mit.edu/

I am going to conduct a workshop next month. I shall use Python in the day-long workshop. The workshop will be for girls only (grade 9-10) who know how to use computers but not familiar with programming.

If anyone has experience conducting similar workshop and has resource, please share.

Also, what do you think I should show them in the workshop? Every girl will have access to a computer during workshop? Should I go with solving problems from their math / physics book? Or should I try to show them simple games to make it more fun? I am waiting for your ideas.
