You will need a background in programming, unless you want to teach the 
course in a completely exploratory way, with yourself as lead explorer.
Best to be lead explorer before the course starts, though.

You'll find a lot of people here swear by HtDP, How to Design Programs.
You might give it a go.  It's a book you can buy, and it's a book you 
can download for free (as far as I remember).

Just work through the exercises, using drscheme.  It won't take long 
for you to get the idea.

And, of course, you can always ask help on this list..

And of course, other recommendations are bound to appear in this thread 
in the next few days.

Good luck!
