Help for Teachers

Ensure that Raspbian is installed and up to date on the Raspberry Pis.

Ensure that Minecraft Runs - it should be under Games on the Main desktop Menu.

Clone this repository onto your Raspberry Pi. For the early lessons I'd recommend having the young coders type in all of the code as there is not too much and it will help them to learn. Some of the later lessons have supporting code that will need to be on the Raspberry Pi's used by the young coders, when they get to those lessons you could clone the repository onto their devices.

Choose a Python Editor to use and be familiar with. Personally I prefer Geany, you can also use 'Idle' or 'Thonny'. Make sure that you know how to load and run the programs in your chosen editor. Read through the code prior to each lesson and familiarise yourself with the code. Research any aspects that you are not familiar with.
