The brief
A house looks hard to draw until you notice it is a square with a triangle sitting on top. Every big problem in programming is solved the same way: cut it into pieces you already know how to do, get each piece working, then join them. Today you build a house that way.

How it is assessed
3 graded challenges inside the lab, and 6 questions at the end that check the idea rather than the clicks. Every attempt is saved, so a retry after a mistake counts as the learning it is.
