Wrap-up
Plan check
Confirm every plan is initialled. Learners without an approved plan finish it as homework.

Every learner has an initialled plan and a wired circuit with the button and both LEDs proven.

Start the main sketch: the state variable and debounced inputs.

Learners without an approved plan complete it at home from the planning lesson and bring it to S25 for approval before building.

Complete the plan and start the sketch.

Initial and time each plan: criterion 1 requires planning produced before wiring.
Answer 'how do I...' questions by pointing to a lesson section or Code Along exercise, not with code.
