Compass: Planning, week 1

Alright, so remember how I had barely 1.5 hours to plan for protactinium the night before, plus about a shaky hour on the train the morning?

Well, my total planning time for compass is about 40 minutes. I wish myself luck.

Different course, same planning strategy. Here we go.

Audience: est. 15-20 high school students
Resources: Example files and ideas from previous iterations of the workshop. 4 helpers. My own skills and abilities.

It will not be enough - not this time. But maybe next time, or the time after that. Or the time after that.

This time I'm going straight to an ordered list on the fly
PREP
- Get pizza preferences from

- Make sure we have all the programs ready

STUDENTS

- Print say command
- Pizza preferences
- Human interpreter, specificity exercise. 
- Chatbot demo
- Chatbot exercise
- Play each others' chatbots
- More complex chatbot exercises with string manipulation and if
- Text game (if time)

NEXT
