Class Experience

Class Experience:
In this beginner-friendly Python class, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of programming in a fun and interactive way. They will explore core concepts such as variables, loops, functions, and conditionals, building a strong foundation for coding. The class will cover practical topics like creating simple games and automations, ensuring students engage with real-world applications.

The class is structured into small, interactive sessions, with hands-on projects designed to apply each concept as it is taught. Students will code live alongside the instructor, receiving guidance and feedback throughout the process. Each lesson introduces a new topic with a combination of concept introduction, coding implementation demo, and interactive coding challenges, keeping learners engaged and motivated.

Learners will also collaborate with peers, discussing and troubleshooting their projects in a friendly, supportive environment. The teacher will use a mix of games, live coding, and Q&A discussions to ensure all students grasp the content fully.
