Exactly. The problem is that nobody's honest in their feedback. Friends are too
forgiving. Enemies are too harsh. Frenemies make a nice balance. But their
feedback is too tightly intertwined with their own opinion of themselves.

little to no prior experience come in and see the projects and get
inspired. There will likely be some kids that would benefit from learning
a few easy projects like you are describing.
This is the first time that we have
I gotta question: Is this a Science Fair or Introduction to Programming
When I signed up for the MW event, it sounded more like a science fair than
an educational event. Is that correct?
I ask because I thought we'd basically show kids how programming works by

Nick,
May I offend you by proposing a dualism to challenge your behavioral monism?
Using Cohen as illustration. If we state the problem other than it has been so

Given a Context X, the probability of Cohen's Behavior (verbal utterances)

It seems reasonable that, in any person's lifetime behavior, we might identify
not only an ephemeris, but variation around that ephemeris, like a world-tube,
