Coding: Into to Python (Virtual)

Introduction to Python: For students ready to move from block-based to text-based coding

Python is one of the most popular and beginner-friendly programming languages—known for its readability, flexibility, and real-world applications. 

This course is the perfect next step for students who are ready to transition from visual programming (like Scratch) to writing actual lines of code.

In this hands-on, project-based course, students will:

• Learn the fundamentals of text-based programming and object-oriented design

• Create and manipulate variables, functions, and essential data structures (lists, tuples, dictionaries)

• Master control structures such as loops and conditionals

• Gain experience organizing code using functions and modules

• Explore Python’s turtle graphics module to draw shapes and patterns

• Use tkinter to build interactive graphical projects, animations, and simple games

From creative design to problem-solving, this course combines logic, structure, and imagination—equipping students with the foundational skills to take on more advanced programming challenges in the future.
