Beginner Level
In this 4-lesson course, kids will dive into Python programming through fun, hands-on projects like building chatbots, drawing with code, and creating games. Each lesson focuses on key coding concepts such as loops, lists, and the Turtle graphics library. The class is highly interactive, with students working together on projects, sharing their ideas, and voting on designs. Our teaching style is collaborative and engaging, encouraging students to ask questions and share their work during each live session. Lessons are structured around small lectures followed by project-based activities. There will be group discussions, coding challenges, and fun games where students can interact with both the instructor and each other. This course is perfect as a stepping stone to more advanced Python programming, laying the foundation for our Level 1 class.
Learning Goals
