Scaling: a design pattern in introductory computer science courses

We present a series of programming exercises that use scaling as a theme for teaching design techniques in the introductory computer science course sequence. All exercises are on the level easily mastered in the first year of programming. Additionally, the exercises introduce a rich variety of applications of computer science.
