Until recently, Bootstrap has been almost exclusively used in afterschool settings, with the majority of teachers attending a thorough training session and recieving ongoing support throughout their class. This past semester, two brave teachers tested the first completely hands-off trial run of Bootstrap -- to mind any remaining rough edges and make Bootstrap ready for truly download-and-go instruction.
We are in the process of integrating their feedback now, and will be posting an updated version of the curriculum by August. The content will be nearly identical, but with more context for teachers, more detailed activities, and a wider range of software exercises. Feel free to download the materials and take a look, and please fill out the form so that we can notify you when v3.6 becomes available!
We are also making available a rough version of the summer curriculum, which scales up to include data structres, the full World teachpack, and events. This curriculum is intended to be taught in 3-hour class segments (twice that of the afterschool program). Please be advised that this material is not intended to be deployed publically, but it made available as an example for those who wish to see how the program can scale.
