So I am going to be teaching the basics of group theory to high schoolers in a few weeks, and I want to hear what the Stack Exchange network has to say on the matter.

  1. What are the applications and insights I should show them in order to excite them about the subject?
  2. What would be a good possible outline of the syllabus, including the rote aspects of group theory, and what are some possible sample problems for the non-rote aspects, i.e. this is why group theory is nifty, these are the deeper connections, these are intriguing applications, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Counting problems as application of Burnside theorem usually excites high school students. Even Polya's pattern theorem can be stated without proof and applied to coloring of geometrical shapes.
