Richmond.
A nice thing you are doing. I take a slightly different approach. I put a few controls on the screen, and then move the mouse around, asking what sort of things (events) might be occurring. Nobody gets what I mean at first, until I explain that I am sending messages to the machine when, say, I simply move the cursor (mouseMove). Most will see that something happens when I click the mouse, and if I say that the machine "knows" where a button is, it also knows when the cursor crosses that threshold (mouseEnter). From there I get several responses, like when the mouse leaves. Nobody ever gets "mouseStillDown"> Anyway, from there I can start to show how if I send a message, I can trap a message, and the rest is easy. Well, not necessarily easy...

We have a great blog post from our very own Richmond Mathewson on the blog today. He tells us about how he's teaching kids to code this summer: http://livecode.com/how-to-teach-coding/ Check it out and tell Richmond how great he is! Thanks!
