Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Beginner Level
This engaging, beginner-friendly Python class introduces learners to the fundamentals of text-based programming through interactive lessons and real coding practice. Students will discover how Python’s open libraries make it one of the easiest and most versatile languages to learn—and how coding logic applies to real-world problem-solving.

Class Experience
Each class begins with a teacher-led demonstration, where key coding concepts are explained clearly with examples. Then, students will code along in real time, experimenting, testing, and debugging their work. Learners are encouraged to ask questions, share their screens, and discuss logic as they go.

Learners need to install VS Code before the class start, on their laptop for a hands-on experience. Instructions and setup support are provided before class.

Lesson Structure
• Class 1: Setting up Python, creating and saving your first file. Write your first program: “Hello, Python!”
• Class 2: Understanding data types—strings, integers, and comparison operators—and how to use them.
• Class 3: Exploring loops and user-defined functions to make code reusable and efficient.
• Class 4: Working with dictionaries and generating output to organize and display information creatively.

Learning Goals

Set up and navigate a Python coding environment, creating and saving their own files.
Understand and use fundamental concepts like variables, strings, integers, and operators.

4 Lessons
over 4 Weeks
Lesson 1:
Introduction to Python Setup and First Program
 In this first week, learners will set up their Python environment and create their very first text-based program. The class begins with an overview of what Python is, why it’s one of the most versatile programming languages, and where it’s used in real life—from gaming to AI!

Lesson 2:
Understanding Data and Variables
 This week introduces learners to data types—the building blocks of Python programming. Students will explore how computers handle text (strings) and numbers (integers), and learn how to use comparison operators to make logical decisions in code.
Through live examples and short exercises, they’ll see how different data types interact, practice writing expressions, and experiment with simple input and output. By the end of the session, learners will be able to manipulate and compare data to make t

Lesson 3:
Loops and Functions: Making Code Smarter
 In this week’s class, students will unlock the power of loops and user-defined functions—two essential tools that make coding efficient and organized.
They’ll learn how to use for and while loops to repeat actions automatically, and how to create their own functions to reuse blocks of code. The instructor will guide them through fun, practical examples such as printing patterns, generating number sequences, and simplifying complex code using functions.
By the end of this week, learners will unde

Lesson 4:
Working with Dictionaries and Output
 In the final week, learners will discover dictionaries—a powerful way to organize and store data using key-value pairs. They’ll practice creating and retrieving information from dictionaries, and then display their results with clean, formatted output.
The instructor will walk through creative examples such as tracking scores, organizing data, or building mini lookup programs.
By the end of this lesson, learners will combine all their skills—data types, loops, functions, and dictionaries—to comp
