Do you find getting started with Python hard? In this first taste of Python, students will get off the ground. We will learn how to get Python to do our bidding and make a silly story program by the end. Students will program in the class and will be challenged to apply concepts in many examples and challenges. Students will be introduced to a concept and then try examples, looking for patterns and drawing inferences. The teacher will insure mastery over the material.
