At the UC Irvine Math Circle, we teach students aged 11-16 functional programming with Haskell by having them make 2D images with functions.

It was easy for the students to get started because it was connected to math that they already knew. Just different notation.

We use a web-based interface based on glot.io that was popular on HN a while back. The code is run server-side in docker containers.
