Learn how to program using the Python programming language! Python is a powerful, expressive programming language that's easy to learn and fun to use! Students will learn about programming logic, data structures, functions, and control structures while completing programming puzzles, creating simple games, having fun, and developing a great sense of accomplishment! This is a beginning programming class. Students do not need any previous programming experience but are expected to be proficient enough with a laptop to be able to create and save files to a folder and to be able to maneuver around a keyboard (they do not have to be able to touch-type). *** IMPORTANT NOTES*** - Students must use a laptop or desktop.
