Host a 20-minute Brainstem session
A room of Windows 11 learners. Everyone practises on a pretend computer while the real install runs on their own laptop. Sample replies are not a live AI service.
Sound: the practice computer starts muted, with captions. Anyone who wants the steps read aloud presses Unmute in the bar; in a room, ask them to use headphones.
The day before
Send one link: Practice computer
Bring your laptop, be signed in to GitHub.
Minute by minute
| Minutes | What everyone does |
|---|---|
| 0-2 | Open the practice link in Edge. Choose Step by step. Explain: this is pretend; nothing here touches the real computer. |
| 2-4 | At Paste the line, choose Copy the real line. Open Start, use Search for Windows PowerShell, press Enter, then Ctrl+V or right-click to paste. Press Enter. Return to the practice computer while it installs. |
| 4-16 | Practise steps 1-8. Follow the First Interview exactly: ask what it can do, introduce yourself, clear the chat, ask what it remembers. Stop at "You have met it. It still knows you." |
| 16-20 | Open http://localhost:7071 in Edge on the real laptop. Repeat those same four steps. The address is typed locally, not fetched by the practice page. |
Steps 9-17 are for afterwards, at each learner's own pace.
When someone is stuck
Point to Stuck? and Show me where below the pretend desktop. Get help includes the step name. To bring the room together, share the practice link with ?step=5 (any step 1-17 works). Reload resumes on that browser when storage is available.
If the real install needs more time, finish the pretend interview first. Use the existing office hours route for follow-up; do not hold up the room.
After the session
Choose Keep going for steps 9-17 independently. For a Copilot Studio agent, use the short Copilot Studio guide. Bring an idea to AIdeate.
