Class 1: Foundational Computer Literacy:

Basic Computer Operation:
Understanding files, folders, and file paths.
Using a command-line interface (terminal/command prompt) for basic navigation.
Understanding the internet and how web pages work (client-server model at a very high level).
Text Editors:
Getting comfortable with a basic text editor (like VS Code, Sublime Text, or Notepad++).
Understanding how to save and open files.
Basic file extensions and their purpose.
HTML & CSS (Very Basic Introduction):
Understanding the structure of a web page using HTML tags (e.g., <p>, <h1>, <div>).
Basic styling with CSS (e.g., changing colors, fonts).
This helps visualize how code translates into a visual output.
Class 2: Logical Thinking & Problem Solving:

Flowcharts & Pseudocode:
Learning to break down problems into logical steps using flowcharts.
Writing pseudocode to plan out the logic of a program before writing actual code.
This helps develop algorithmic thinking.
Basic Logic Concepts:
Understanding "if/then" statements and logical operators (AND, OR, NOT).
Simple problem-solving exercises that involve logical reasoning.
This helps build a mental model of how programs make decisions.
Foundational Programming Concepts (Language-Agnostic):

Variables & Data Types (Conceptual):
Understanding the concept of storing data in variables.
Basic data types (numbers, text, true/false).
Explaining these concepts without tying them to specific PHP syntax.
Sequences, Selections, and Iterations:
Understanding the three basic building blocks of programming:
Sequences (doing things in order).
Selections (making choices with "if" statements).
Iterations (repeating things with loops).
This can be done using pseudocode or flowcharts.
Functions (Conceptual):
Understanding the concept of reusable blocks of code.
explaining the concept of inputs and outputs.
