Related to this thread is this work from Computer Science Education 
Research Group at The University of Adelaide:

"$6.9 million funding agreement with Department of Education and Training 
to support K-12 Digital Technologies"
<https://blogs.adelaide.edu.au/cser/2016/01/21/6-9-million-funding-agreement-with-department-of-education-and-training-to-support-k-12-digital-technologies/>

This is to further develop and conduct CSER's successful MOOCs on coding 
and digital technologies:
<http://blogs.adelaide.edu.au/cser/the-cser-digital-technologies-moocs/>

Their "Think Create Code" MOOC for students was the origin for this work. 
Linkers might find the computer language choice of Processing.js and 
developing mostly graphical applications an interesting pedagogical 
choice.

If you have an opportunity to listen to the lead researchers at CSER -- 
Katrina Falkner, Claudia Szabo, Nick Falkner -- then grasp the 
opportunity.
