Beginner Level
Your learner will continue learning more about Python, one of the world's most popular coding languages. This course aims to enable learners to deepen their understanding of the fundamentals of Python and to explore its diverse practical applications. Students will use what they have learned to work on different projects, such as creating a pizza shop app, an interactive calendar application, automating files, graphing real-world data, and ultimately developing their own Python game. There will be practice questions and review exercises to help students practice what we have learned in class. Your student will be amazed at what they can do at the end of 10-weeks and be excited about continuing their coding journey.

These projects include: Fizz Buzz Mini Project Outschool Pizza Shop File Automation Calendar Application with Graphical User Interface Data Science and Graphing with Matplotlib Space Explorers Game Python Todo List Application Student Final Project Presentation These projects allow students to apply what they have learned with Python while building fun projects! Interactive Groups Every student is strongly encouraged to post questions, sample code, and their projects every step of the way. This gives students the chance to learn from each other and start practicing reading code. The instructor will also be providing feedback and guidance daily throughout the course. The class is a supportive, positive, and fun environment for all students! Required Coding Knowledge ********* This is a beginner course and students need a good understanding of Python foundations. Learners should have completed the Level 1 and II Python Summer Camps or the 8-week Python for Beginners Course. **************

Syllabus
10 Lessons
over 10 WeeksLesson 1:
Foundations of Python Programming
This week will cover the basics of Python programming. Students will review variables, conditional statements, and functions. They'll apply these concepts in a Fizz Buzz mini-project and explore nested conditional statements. The week will conclude with an introduction to scope, the global keyword, and the pass statement, providing a solid foundation for the rest of the course. 60 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Planning and Project Development
Students will learn the importance of planning in coding projects. They'll be introduced to flowcharts and brainstorming techniques for breaking down problems. The majority of the class will be spent on the Outschool Pizza Shop project, where students will apply their knowledge to develop a multi-day project, reinforcing previous concepts in a practical, engaging context. 60 mins online live lesson
Lesson 3:
Advanced Python Concepts
This class focuses on more advanced Python concepts. Students will explore Python methods, including string and math methods. They'll learn about ternary operators for concise conditional statements and study Python's keywords and reserved words. These concepts will enhance their ability to write more efficient and readable code. 60 mins online live lesson
Lesson 4:
File Operations and Loops
Students will dive into file operations, learning to read from, write to, and append to files. They'll create their own files and manipulate data within them. The class will also include a comprehensive review of loops, with a focus on while loops, providing students with tools to handle repetitive tasks and data processing efficiently. 60 mins online live lesson

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Mount St. Mary's University
Over 5,000 students from nearly 100 countries across a variety of platforms have started coding in one of my classes. I offer classes covering the foundations of Python and AI. Before teaching, I worked as a software developer for nearly 10 years. I've worked for organizations including Apple, Dell, and Best Buy. I believe the best way to learn is by doing and all my classes are based around hands-on projects that progressively build in difficulty. I'm a graduate of Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Maryland. I can't wait to meet your learner in the class and get started soon. Reviews
