I've attempted to teach people (adults) coding and noticed I move waaaaay too fast for people without prior knowledge. I had to slow it down massively to make it work.
Definitely can relate to this, did some teaching over the summer as well and it definitely took a lot of patience, but in the end it was a very humbling experience because of how eager the kids were to learn and how much growth I noticed from my own end
A great Post Pratham. Loved it !!
Thanks for sharing your learnings. It sounds like an amazing experience!
Was building game part of your curriculum? Because this how I got hook to programming, I wish I knew that early.
One last thing did you give the students the next steps to undertake from your initiation?
Teaching is an awesome thing.. I enjoy doing it whenever gets an opportunity to do. Your points are just bang on.. Pratham Prasoon! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing post Pratham Prasoon! This is a great post for people who are gonna be teaching to code for the first time. I also learned all of this while mentoring students (special appreciation for the 5th point :D).
You did good work Pratham.
A year ago I was teaching programming to a junior in my college too. He was showing all signs of the middle schoolers you worked with.

That's amazing! thank you for doing this and writing it down! 🤟
