Python Level 1: Fundamentals

 

Grades 7-12 or by permission. Summer camps, 1 to 2 hour, multi-day classes, and 1-day workshops. Inquire about online options.

This class begins with an introduction to the four basic concepts common to every language of programming. Students will work through a series of exercises to understand the concepts and begin to learn the Python language syntax and structure. Following this class, students will be ready for more advanced classes in Python or be well prepared to begin learning other programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, C or HTML with Robotics And Beyond, in school or online.

Python is an excellent first language for text-based coding and for learning fundamentals of programming and is also becoming the Language-of-Choice at more and more universities for introducing programming concepts and skills. Python is also very valuable for careers and personal interests. Python is a common language for Linux-based operating systems and software and for Raspberry Pi microcomputers, and even for movies.

 

Requirements:

 

- Some prior coding experience in any language (including Scratch or activities at Code.org) is helpful but not required.

- Some keyboard (typing) ability is important for this class since students will enter and copy lines of code and fix errors using their keyboard.

- Installation of the Python editor on the student’s home computer to allow continued work at home. If needed, help will be provided with loading the software.

Python Level 2: Important tools and skills

 

Grades 7-12 or by permission. Summer camps, 1 to 2 hour, multi-day classes, and 1-day workshops. Inquire about online options.

This class will review basic skills and concepts and move on to more complex and longer programs, using interesting projects, to build a knowledge of important vocabulary, coding grammar (syntax), program structure and key tools and programming concepts.
