What was built

A Typst project, Brindle Lane water trial, holding the Society's report as a six-page document: its text, two captioned figures, a table made from a CSV file with a total row, a numbered equation, a bibliography made from a BibTeX file, a title page and a contents page, with the layout kept in a template file and the finished report exported as a PDF. Then a second project for an invented rooftop garden group, from briefs.

The 6 sessions, and when each was completed on their own

Each session was completed twice: once with step-by-step guidance on one company’s data, then on a second company’s data from a brief, with guidance only when asked. Every check passed on both. Alongrail records the sessions, the checks and the dates; the dashboard itself is the learner’s own, hosted where they chose.
