Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
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.

Syllabus

10 Lessons
over 10 Weeks
Lesson 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.

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.
