New Student Training

[LeelandS]

Greeting Delphi Community,

I'm on Team 1126, where I am the Software team lead. As part of a new project, we're holding small sessions over the Summer to experiment with new code methods. In addition, we're inviting potential new students to attend these sessions to familiarize themselves with our level of programming.

And here's the problem:
Our method of training leaves much to be desired. Right now, all we do it basically walk the new students through the code, and explain what each section does. Fine, in theory, but we're looking for a more... interactive approach.

So, I'm asking if anyone has any suggestions on ways to train new students. Each of the new students knows the basics of JAVA syntax, so we're not looking for a way for them to learn JAVA, but for a way for them to get used to the level of coding we use for the robot.

(Also, if there is another sections of the Forums for this topic that I missed, could you please be so kind as to direct me to it? Thank you.)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
