What this level is designed to teach
Youth Innovators is the proposed programme for 15–17 years, with 90–120 minutes guided sessions. Teaching priorities: Independent project planning, versioning, peer review. By the end, the learner should be able to present a project such as polished windows game; utility app; modular robot, and explain at least one problem they solved.
Eight-session progression and evidence
| Week | Theme | Age-appropriate deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Imagine and start | Choose measurable real-user problem |
| 2 | Build the world/interface | Storyboard architecture and project milestones |
| 3 | Control and response | Design functions/states and safe inputs |
| 4 | Rules and objectives | Add test suite and permission boundaries |
| 5 | Feedback and accessibility | Review accessibility and security choices |
| 6 | Find and fix defects | Retain at least three tests, with failures and repairs |
| 7 | Prepare a version | Create versioned release pack and private credits |
| 8 | Private showcase | Five-minute demonstration and reflection |
Allowed tools and safety boundaries
Godot with optional GDScript, prototyping tools, version control concepts and supervised robotic state machines. No public child profiles or real emergency systems.
Finished project acceptance
- Runnability on the approved workshop device.
- An original child-made idea or improvement that the learner can explain.
- At least one recorded or explained test, including what was expected.
- One adjustment made because of feedback or a defect.
- Local safe project packaging and only opt-in guardian-approved private sharing.
Facilitator and guardian notes
Age is a default placement guide, not a test of worth or ability. The host and parent can choose accommodations, quiet presentation and slower pace. A workshop is not independent childcare, a credit-bearing qualification or a commercial data contribution. The original blueprint is a proposal: there are no confirmed dates, named registered students or verified screening outcomes to publish.
Build with the Building Truss Grid
Plan and review an advanced digital kit: finite parts, mechanical validation, technology wiring, constrained control instructions, fail-safe simulation and evidence-led commissioning.
These are proposed supervised lessons linked to the evolving application, not proof of an available public app or scheduled workshop. Explore BTG Builder's full engineering design and current release status →
