Description

**This class is recommended for students who completed our Python Beginners I course during the Fall session, as well as for students with some prior introductory-level experience in Python.  This class is a direct continuation of the Fall 2024 session.**

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 introduces students to the world of programming. Instructors will guide students through the basics of coding with Python, helping them design and program their own games. Throughout the school year, 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:  Understand and use variables to store data.
  • Use Fundamental Data Structures: Work with lists, tuples, and maps to organize data.
  • Organize and Reuse Code: Use functions and modules to create organized and reusable code.
  • Implement Control Structures:Utilize loops and conditional statements for decision-making and iteration.
  • Draw with Python: Create shapes and patterns using Python’s turtle module.
  • Develop Interactive Projects: Create games, animations, and other graphical applications with Tinker.

Our Python for Beginners course teaches students the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and prepares them for more advanced coding in the Python Intermediate courses. Join us to embark on an exciting journey into the world of Python programming!
