Hi Anne-Francis,
For ChimeraX, we don't have an exact parallel to the "getting started" tutorial for Chimera.

However, the one I usually recommend as an intro to general molecular modeling (such as for a class) is

Protein-Ligand Binding sites
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tutorials/binding-sites.html>

You can also look down through the tutorials index to see if there are any more specific ones that might interest you.
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/tutorials.html>

The ChimeraX "quick start" sections can be followed sequentially as they are written, but I understand it is not really the same kind of narrative as most tutorials.

You may also be interested to try the "click to execute" approach where you don't even have to type the commands (although perhaps it does not provide as much reinforcement for the students to learn them).

Regards,
Elaine
