Hi!
I'm going to start every lecture with a meditation from the fantastic
Sitting Still Like a Frog book, all read by Myla Kabat-Zinn. If you don't want to participate that's completely fine, I'll message on the chat when the meditation is over.
Next let's move onto the "Naming and Identifiers" section and the Explore This exercise - "Compare these two notes".
Next a 10 minute 3 person group session - "Naming to Organise Values".
Next let's move onto the "Constants and Variables" section and the Explore This exercise - "Imagine your life is a program".
Next a 15 minute 3 person group session - "Ceteris Paribus".
Next let's move onto the "Simulation" section and the Explore This exercise - "Imagine you work as a car safety engineer".
Next a 15 minute 3 person group session - "It's All in a Name".
Next let's move onto the "Strings" section and the Explore This exercise - "Imagine you’re tasked with creating chatbot responses to the user inputs below."
Next a 15 minute 3 person group session - "Concatenating Strings".
Now let's read the next part of the student guide together - 1.2 "Play with Values". This is the first time we are going to try Xcode playgrounds, all in groups so PC users can still interact.
