Learn Python from the ground up. I'll help you setup your PC to get ready for Python. Then, each class will cover syntax of Python. Topics we will cover include: - Installing Python _ Install Python on a Windows PC - Using IDLE and the editor - Learn when to use IDLE and when to use the editor - Variables - Variables are used for all sorts of things, from keeping score in a game to calculations to holding lists of item. As in their name – the contents will VARY as the program runs. - Strings, Lists, Tuples - What's the difference? When do I use them - Decision making - Every day you make decisions about what to do next, based on the answers to questions you ask yourself. For example, “Is it raining?”, “Have I done my homework?”, “Am I a horse?” Computers also make decisions by asking questions - Loops - Computers are great at doing boring tasks without complaining. Programmers aren’t, but they are good at getting computers to do repetitive work for them—by using loops. - Functions - Programmers love shortcuts that make writing code easier. One of the most common shortcuts is to give a name to a block of code that does an especially useful job. -Create a quiz game - Make a quiz game about animals and learn how to modify it to be about any topic -Create a Caterpillar game - Create a program like Snake.io

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Pennsylvania State University
Hi, my name is Dan Hartman. I have many years of experience as an elementary and middle school technology teacher (Pk-8). I have a bachelor's degree from Penn State in Computer Science and over 25years of working in the computer science world. For years I have been bringing the joy of coding into PK-8 classrooms, with my passion for teaching technology and a skill for turning learning into an adventure, I inspire young minds to explore the digital world with creativity and curiosity.
I always try to make my teaching fun; students will see me wearing different hats and wigs to liven things up. I was a kid once, too and I can relate that it can be intimidating trying to warm up to a new teacher. In my classes, we will joke a bit and have a good time. But guess what, you will learn how to code.
Last but not least, I realize that not all students pick up everything as quickly, so I try not to leave anyone hanging. I will often extend class sessions for one or a couple students. We can even zoom in at another time. My approach is that no student should leave without understanding the material.
I look forward to seeing you in my class!
