  The Sixth International Workshops on Trends in Functional Programming in
Education, TFPIE 2017, was held on 22 June 2017 at the University of Kent, in
Canterbury, UK, and was co-located with TFP, the Symposium on Trends in
Functional Programming.
  The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, professors, teachers, and all
professionals interested in functional programming in education. This includes
the teaching of functional programming, but also the application of functional
programming as a tool for teaching other topics and disciplines.
  A particular topic of this year's TFPIE was that of MOOCs and other online
learning and, as well as a session on this, we were delighted to welcome
Heather Miller of EFPL and Northeastern University to give a keynote on this
topic entitled "Functional Programming for All! Scaling a MOOC for Students and
Professionals Alike". Heather works on and around the Scala programming
language and is Executive Director of the Scala Center.
