This project is aimed at 6-12th graders, though all may find it fun. It's goals are two-fold:

1) Teach the basics of programming, of reading code, editing code, writing code from scratch, and learning how to google things.

2) Give kids something they can use as a baseline to heavily modify based on their own ideas - they can start with the spell frameworks in lessons 7 and 8 and give themselves superpowers, or go in the direction of lessons 5, 6 and 9 and focus on automating complex architecture!

Solutions can be see in the branch "solutions", and a person can run their own server from the "server" branch. The Master branch is the client, and you can connect to my server from it (instructions in the readme).

Looking for any feedback, particularly around the lessons themselves and any ideas for additional lessons - but open to anything constructive.



Is there a homepage explaining more about the project?
