Re: Teaching Labview with Pong

The students seemed to like it, and it also caught the interest of a few mentors who wanted to join in. The problem we had was that we started fairly close to build season so we only made it through three of the challenges.

For next year I am planning to start it much earlier and have more material behind it to teach.

The difficulty ranges quite a bit, two of our students had never done any programming, and one student came on with four years of Java experience. I tried to vary it based on that, so I have a few where little experience is needed, and a few where a lot is needed.

I plan to come up with a few more for the next school year to bridge that, where I will have different material and challenges depending on the number of years in the program and skill level.
