http://www.csunplugged.com/

Note: These days I see a good number of teachers using things like Gamemaker (see lite (free) and pro (20.00)). Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Maker . XNA to bring game development into their courses so students can have incentive to learn so they can create things that interest them - games.
I also see teachers teaching mobile device programming which is pretty easy in Visual Studio because of built in emulators.

And then there are robots. Programs like IPRE in college and FIRST Lego League in middle schools (usually as after school programs.) There are tools out there.
