It was aimed a teachers looking at using Playgrounds for digi-tech teaching.</p> <p>The day included pulling apart one of the Playgrounds apps and rebuilding it - this being an example of a &ldquo;top-down&rdquo; approach - starting with a complete app and fiddling around with it - to better engage students. The alternative being a bottom-up approach where lesson one would be &ldquo;good morning students, this is a variable, it can hold a value, it has a name we can use to refer to the value&rdquo;.</p>
