Present: Matt, Simon, Jade

===== Agenda =====

  * Curriculum questions:
    * How self-directed (versus facilitated) should content be? mattcen suggests writing enough documentation for self-directed learning, but pair it with a guided tutorial so students can follow along or go on ahead depending on their learning style and skill level.
    * How much content can we reasonably cover per lesson? There's a lot to cover in the course, and it may be tricky to find a suitable pace that people can keep up with without us running out of time.
    * Were we going to let participants take RPis home? I assumed not, but that would mean it's hard for them to revise/work outside classes.
    * Which OS image were we planning to use? Ubuntu is available with a Desktop image (but only for RPi 4 and up, so I haven't been able to test this on my spare RPi 3), or we could use the minimal/server image and walk through installing a GUI if necessary.
