The goal of this course is to introduce students to the poplular Python game library PyGame Zero. Students will be able to start coding there own intermediate level games by the end of the class.
Over 5,000 students from nearly 100 countries across a variety of platforms have started coding in one of my classes. I offer classes covering the foundations of Python and AI. I am the author of the soon-to-be released book All About Python for Kids. Before teaching, I worked as a software developer for nearly 10 years. I've worked for organizations including Apple, Dell, and Best Buy. I believe the best way to learn is by doing and all my classes are based around hands-on projects that progressively build in difficulty. I'm a graduate of Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Maryland. I can't wait to meet your learner in the class and get started soon.
Students will use Code with Mu, a free code editor designed specifically for beginners. Code with Mu requires any Windows, Apple Mac, or Linux computer.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
********* This is not a beginner course and students need a good understanding of Python foundations. They should have completed the Level 1 and II Python Summer Camps or the 8-week Python for Beginners Course. There are other comprehensive courses available for beginning students at Outschool! Please, contact me if you have questions. ************** Code with Mu is a code editor designed for beginner / intermediate developers. This is what we will be using throughout our course for our code and also running our games. Python.org, Pygame, and Python Arcade are all resources we will be using to learn more about game development. Students will need a Windows, Apple Mac, or Linux computer for this camp. Unfortunately, Code with Mu doesn't support Chromebooks or Tablets at this time.
