Browser-first by default: the core session works in the browser. Local VM and advanced tooling are optional only.

Youth: What to Expect

Simple browser-first guide for youth participants.

What to expect

You do not need to be a coder. Tonight is about clearer prompts, practical browser use, and noticing what changes when you ask more clearly.

What to bring

  • Device if you have one
  • Charger or power cable
  • Optional Ethernet cable if you have one
  • One topic you care about

How the session works

You will watch short demos, try guided versions yourself, and move through one workbook flow that keeps your notes with you as you go.

LevelWhat it means
GuidedUse Guided if that is the path that helps you keep moving.

Participant workbook flow

This is one workbook journey. The pages are separate only so the night feels calmer and easier to follow step by step.

Step 1

Start and setup (Current step)

Choose your topic, your level, and the kind of help you want.

Step 2

Prompt practice

Do the main text-prompt activity and record what changed.

The workbook engine should keep your place and your notes in this browser.

Start your workbook

The participant guide, the practice tasks, and the reflection pieces all belong to one workbook journey. Start here and keep moving forward page by page.

How your workbook works

Your notes stay on this device unless you choose to print them, save them as PDF, or download a copy. The browser workbook engine should let you leave one step and return without losing your place.

If you get stuck

  • Use Guided.
  • Borrow a starter card.
  • Add one detail at a time.
  • Ask a leader or the facilitator for a sentence frame.
