I agree. Have them see what they are getting into first and see if they actually want to get involved in programming. Then if they do get into programming then see what they are strong at in programming and what they have trouble with. Also be patient with them cause some will learn really fast and some will learn really slow. Don't get inpatient if one person is way behind than the others and a few people are super far ahead than others. Get a pace going and set that pace. That will make students a lot less frustrated if you suddenly speed up or slow down. Doing this all before build season will be hard but you can always set up times with students to help them with something. Whether its after school or before or during the weekend.
I hope this helps!!!!
