Students start with a problem they can see: a calculation, a text tool, a small game. Syntax arrives when it is needed.
By the end, every student has a program they can run, explain and modify without help.
This programme can be adapted for different ages, session lengths and group sizes. Ask for a proposal with a session-by-session outline.

How it runs
Brief
We agree the cohort, timetable and what a finished project looks like.
Build
Students work in teams on a real brief, with a taught input at the start of each session.
Test
Teams measure against constraints and document what failed and why.
Show
A working demo, a short presentation and a record of each student’s contribution.
