Lesson List

From regional-training

This is a starting outline and a work in progress, since we are still organising, developing and categorising our lessons plans and projects.

The lessons are designed to kick-start the student into the world of IT in a gentle fashion through reward and achievement.

One of the most rewarding activities is for the student to make their own ethernet cable if sufficient supervision is available and tools and test equipment can be provided. It is hard getting the wires in the correct order into the RJ45 connector and the cable can fail to work.

The student is encouraged to get their cable to work. The end result is a cable that they can use to plug their raspberry pi into the home network router and get faster internet than their parents (and they will be able to prove it). This is definitely a class-room setting situation to achieve but once done they can take their cables home with their pi.

Please note that most lesson pages are protected by access control and only some of them may be made public, while others just have a public outline.

🚩 Note: any page hyperlink indicated with a red colour is yet to be developed. We are writing wiki pages as you read the wiki

🚩 Note: also that some pages are restricted from public access.

It is an idea that I wish to develop student raspberry pi skills and systems so the raspberry pi can be used as a development IDE for pico development. So it is important to learn Linux as well as Programming Languages and the necessary skills in order to program a microcontroller too, e.g. a raspberry pi pico or an arduino.

Some students may decide that they do not want to do low-level programming and would prefer Linux and the raspberry pi category:pi lessons and not become involved in pico category:pico lessons or other microcontroller lessons.

At some stage we will also start looking at arduino lessons too, due to the proliferation of much material and an emulation development environment.

This list is not complete, and lesson plans are still being developed.

Intermediate

Advanced

Advanced lessons tend to be fairly complex projects and they take effort which might extend past just a lesson instructional. More trainer assistance may be required and the student is at liberty to learn at their own pace. The importance is the achievement. We hope to include joint projects soon where our students suggest their very own projects.
