Developing Labs for Teaching Kids Webdev by Matt Cengia
Come listen to the tale of how I and a small team of Scout Leaders from Australia developed and delivered a weekend course that took 11-15-year-old young adults from knowing almost nothing about networking or code, to being able to follow along and build their own website, complete with static HTML, CSS, and then transitioning to a simple Python Flask app, requiring nothing more than a web browser and Visual Studio Code on the student computers.I'll cover how we gave each student full root access to their own "server", through to how we built the course material to be a manageable learning curve over such a tight timeline, the challenges we faced with content delivery, and ideas for improvements before we run our next course.

    The filtering didn't work at 55:30 because there are two bridges listed with OVERALL_LENGTH set to 998001 metres. This seems to be the result of maths done on "no-data" values. Normally the histogram is drawn on filter interface, but it's squashed up into the first pixel on the left. If you filter the dataset itself you can locate these two spurious rows and amend them. The real longest OVERALL_LENGTH is 1850 metres, for the feeder bridges to the West Gate Freeway. But the West Gate Bridge itself is listed with an OVERALL_LENGTH of 0, although it's really 2.6 km long.
