Abstract
This paper describes the experiences of teaching a new undergraduate grid computing course to students across the State of North Carolina in Fall 2004. This course is specifically focused at the undergraduate level and has a large number of geographically distributed participating sites. New materials have been developed for undergraduate students. We have developed a coherent set of grid computing programming assignments. All the materials developed are available on-line. This course also had internationally known guest speakers to provide state-of-the art presentations. Apart from developing grid computing materials, a number of issues arose in using the grid computing software and coordinating the activities, which are described here.
