Imagine 150 newbie secondary school students and teachers in a lecture theatre, trying to follow a very fast talking TA who knows Android development through and through. I was caught in the middle of the fray as a student TA.
At first, most people were ok. It was easy interface building and we informed them to be prepared and preview.
But before long, everybody was stuck in some kind of issue. We were were 5 student TAs facing 50 problems.
It was impossible. As we tried our best to answer the problems, it dawned on me that if every problem takes just 3 minutes to solve, It would take about 35 minutes of full working time, running around, to solve the issues-and then there would be new ones on the way.
While I was thinking, participants' hands were becoming sore, they put them down, resigning to their fates and went to feed on facebook...
And for the determined few, we told them to just download and understand the code, so that they could do it at home.
To be continued...
