1. Intro to Grasshopper
1 Item
Learners can differentiate between GH data types and their role in workflows.
- 1.1
  Data Types in Grasshopper = Geometry + non-geometry
  32 Minutes
2.Popular Data Structure Components
2 Items
Learners know which components to reach for in common scenarios.
- 2.1
  Item vs. List vs. Tree structures in GH
  65 Minutes
- 2.2
  Hands-on with a geometry set (rectangles, circles, points) – reorganize them using these components.
3. Data Structures in Depth & Manipulation
4 Items
Students understand how to directly manipulate and match tree structures.
4. Tips & Tricks for Data Trees
2 Items
- 4.1
  4.1 Debugging strategies (panel checks, tree visualization).
- 4.2
  Show two approaches: one messy, one clean with tips.
5.Introduction to Algorithmic Design
2 Items
Students shift mindset from “drawing” to “algorithmic thinking.”
- 5.1
  5.1 Logic > Form (design thinking in steps).
- 5.2
  Design exercise: “Generate a parametric pavilion form” from a simple grid using rules.
6. Mini Project (Apply Knowledge)
2 Items
Students produce a complete algorithmic model.
- 6.1
  6.1 Example project: Parametric façade with adaptive panels or generative roof trusses.
- 6.2
  Step 1: Define grid/surface.
7. Breaking Boundaries with C# in Grasshopper
2 Items
Students unlock the power to script beyond GH’s native toolset.
- 7.1
  7.1 Custom rules for geometry creation (e.g., recursive fractal curves, branching systems).
- 7.2
  Write a recursive script: fractal tree or pattern.
