Coding: Python Beginners (Virtual)

Python is a powerful, expressive programming language that’s easy to learn and fun to use! Our Python for Beginners course brings Python to life and brings our students into the world of programming. In our Python for Beginners course instructors will guide students through the basics of coding with Python, as they learn how to design and program their own games. Throughout the school year long course, we guide students through a transition from block based (instructional) coding to text based (real world) coding.

In this course students will learn to:

• Create simple variables

• Use fundamental data structures like lists, tuples, and maps

• Organize and reuse your code with functions and modules

• Use control structures like loops and conditional statements

• Draw shapes and patterns with Python’s turtle module

• Create games, animations, and other graphical wonders with tkinter

Our Python for Beginners course teaches students the fundamentals of the object oriented programming and prepares students for the more advanced coding that is part of the Python Intermediate course.
