The lessons should be straight forward tutorials that builds something relatively functional. This builds practical knowledge of capabilities and motivation. Then you teach theory to some of the basics as the practical knowledge grows. Then more complicated abstract theory as they progress.

As a teacher, you minimize roadblock time. Not eliminate, minimize. Let a student flop around like a fish to debug for a while and before they suffocate, you point out the problem. Also, answer questions or provide different strategies with their pros and cons.

If I can teach a crayon munching marine to dev this way, I’m pretty sure 99% of the human population that wants to dev can learn that way too.
