What the week actually is

By high school a camp has to be worth a teenager's summer. This one runs on a real project with a real deliverable — something that can be shown to an admissions officer or an employer without an explanation attached.

Day by day

  1. Pick the problem and write the prediction
  2. First build, first failure
  3. Diagnose what actually went wrong
  4. Rebuild and test against the prediction
  5. Showcase: explain it to the room
