“Further’s challenges speak the language of teachers. The lessons took us through every step. We could scaffold on top of the work we did the day before. So we were able to move that cohort of students along.”

of training included.
Students follow step-by-step guides that help them learn the basics of coding, using the electronic components that come with pi‑top [4] or pi-top [3].
Students explore and test to refine understanding developed in the ‘assemble’ section.
Once they are confident, students can play with their code and add components to come up with something unique. Learners develop and demonstrate skills by building, exploring, inventing, and problem-solving.
In all projects, students are encouraged to share or present their work and gain feedback.
