For teachers

A fixed shape means the teacher stops improvising

Every week runs the same way, with everything loaded in advance. No setup, no pack-down, no electronics knowledge required.

The session

The same six phases, every week

Timings for both bands. It fits a standard period.

Phase	Band A	Band B	What happens
Hook	3 min	3 min	Teacher runs the finished solution on the projector
Recall	3 min	4 min	One question about the previous session
Build	15 min	18 min	Students open the pre-loaded starter project
Code	10 min	15 min	Band A adapts the given blocks; Band B writes its own
Challenge	5 min	6 min	The scored run; times post to the leaderboard
Share and save	4 min	4 min	Reporters explain; projects auto-save
Total	40 min	50 min	Fits a standard period, no setup or pack-down

The pack

What ships with every session

A timed script with the exact prompts to use

The pair

Two roles, swapped halfway

Driver

Navigator

Assessment

Four strands, no written exams

Rated Emerging / Developing / Secure at sessions 4, 8, 12. The platform logs attempts and scores automatically, so the teacher rates rather than records.

Builds

Assembles a program from a given structure, progressing to building from scratch

Codes

Adapts given code, progressing to writing their own

Debugs

Identifies why a run failed, progressing to fixing it independently

Collaborates

Fulfils their role in the pair, progressing to helping others
