Class Experience

Beginner Level
This beginner-friendly Python course is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of programming in a fun and engaging way. Over five lessons, students will learn key concepts like variables, loops, conditional statements, and functions, while applying their knowledge to hands-on projects. Using the Turtle graphics module, they’ll create colorful designs, interactive stories, and even a turtle race game. Each lesson builds on the previous one, ensuring students gain confidence and skills as they progress.

The class is structured to balance instruction with hands-on practice. Students will work on projects like customizable stories, branching quests, and surveys with Turtle graphics. By the end of the course, they’ll have a solid foundation in Python and a portfolio of creative projects to share.
