Class Experience In this fun-filled, interactive Python Summer Coding Camp, we at Codingal will guide students through the world of coding and artificial intelligence (AI) with exciting projects and hands-on activities! This 6-lesson course will take them from setting up Thonny to building their very own password generator, all while learning from the best coding instructors. What will be taught? In this Python course, you'll explore the fundamentals of programming, including variables, data types, and functions. You'll dive into practical projects like creating Mad Libs games, building a personal budget tracker, and mastering conditionals, loops, and operators to develop fun, interactive applications. How is your class structured? Each lesson will be broken down into: A brief introduction to the topic Explanation of key concepts using examples Hands-on coding practice through engaging projects Interactive problem-solving and Q&A How will you teach? We’ll use a combination of live coding, and interactive discussions to explain core concepts. Each class will feature engaging real-time coding challenges that students can follow along with, ensuring they apply what they've learned immediately. Students will also have opportunities to ask questions and get help during the session. What's our teaching style? Our teaching style is hands-on, energetic, and interactive. We believe in learning by doing, so students will work on fun projects that help them understand and master coding concepts in a practical way. We encourage an open, creative learning environment where mistakes are part of the learning process. How much will learners get to interact with you? Students will have plenty of opportunities to interact during each session: Coding challenges where we guide them step by step Real-time discussions and Q&A Personalized feedback on their projects Fun and interactive coding games that foster collaboration This class is perfect for beginners who want to start their journey in coding and AI while having fun with creative projects!
