Abstract
I will report on the way I use Lean to teach first year math undergrads in Orsay. The main unusual thing is the use of a controlled natural language input syntax designed to make it easier to transfer proving skills from the computer to paper. This will also be the opportunity to take a brief look at what meta-programming in Lean looks like, and maybe inspire you to build new things using this framework.
