What the week actually is

Most coding camps teach syntax and lose the child by Wednesday. This one teaches the loop — write, run, it breaks, read the error, fix it — because that loop is what a programmer actually does and it is learnable at seven.

Day by day

  1. Logic on paper before a keyboard
  2. First program, first error message
  3. Read the error, fix the error
  4. Build something with a user who is not you
  5. Showcase: hand it to someone and watch

Questions we get from North Little Rock, AR

Which language?
Block-based for the youngest, then Python. The language matters far less than whether the child will read an error message instead of panicking.
Screen time all week?
No. Roughly half the week is off-screen: planning on paper, tracing logic by hand, testing on each other.
Is it too late to start at 13?
No. Thirteen-year-olds move faster than anyone; what they need is a reason, not an earlier start.
