[FYI: Attention: Parents/guardians. If the days/times listed do not work for you and your young learner, please, contact me. Always happy to talk to parents/guardians. Thank you.] The main goal of this one-time class is to check if the student and the teacher work together well. And, at the same time, your young learner will code "My First (Python) Program". Your young learner will code a "Secret Decoder Ring". A short Python program that turns a plaintext message into a secret coded message of numbers (i.e., ASCII). [FYI: Mr. Hun reserves the right to adjust or change the listed code project to a different one depending on the circumstances. Especially if the learner has already completed the same or similar code project prior.] Your young learner will code values, variables, and statements. And call Python built-in functions. This lesson (if time permits) will introduce the following coding concepts: ABSTRACTION ARGUMENT FUNCTION INTEGER PARAMETER SEQUENCE STATEMENT STRING VALUE VARIABLE

Parental Guidance
A. Warning! Mr. Hun grew up in NYC, NY. From the age of 5 to 45. But now lives on the West Coast. NYC culture is characterized by sarcasm. Which (sadly) does NOT exist outside of the NE. Mr. Hun does his utmost best to keep his sarcasm under control. And be professional at all times. But sometimes his NYC culture peeks through once in a while. So, if you and/or your learner are offended by sarcasm or jokes. Please, do NOT register for any of Mr. Hun's classes. Thank you (said without any sarcasm whatsoever).
B. Please, be aware that your child will be required to be able to access the PythonTutor.com website. In order to execute Python code in a web browser. Your child will NOT be required to create an account on PythonTutor.com
