Assuming that these environments don&#x27;t give access to computers, is it possible to teach computer programming (at least at logical level)?<p>For example, one can publish a monthly &quot;Level&quot; printable pamphlet which progressively covers 1) some theory, 2) some syntax (likely pseudocode), 3) a problem to solve through code, and 4) a way to verify the code e.g. dry run.<p>Example of problem: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blockly.games&#x2F;maze?lang=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blockly.games&#x2F;maze?lang=en</a><p>Example of dry run: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;theteacher.info&#x2F;websites&#x2F;ocr_alevel&#x2F;WebPages&#x2F;F452_ProgTechn&#x2F;DryRuns&#x2F;DryRuns.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;theteacher.info&#x2F;websites&#x2F;ocr_alevel&#x2F;WebPages&#x2F;F452_Pro...</a><p>I know there will still be more learning steps before becoming productive for a job, but this brings them one step closer.

Very cool. Is this entirely donation driven, given that it is a nonprofit? Are there prisons or public jurisdictions that support this program?
