Welcome to Python Coding Camp for Beginners (Ages 8-12) In this camp format class, we are going to work on learning Python from the very beginning with fun and interesting examples. From the very beginning steps into programming (the basics of Python) to more complicated programs, we will build up the skills to make our own programs and learn to code. Python is one of the world's most popular programming languages, used from exploring space to artificial intelligence and millions of things between. In this course we are going to focus on five data structures and methods: variables, lists, loops, dictionaries, and conditional statements to code amazing programs. Each class in the camp will cover different topics, and scaffold skills so we are able to build more complex programs and think of new ways to solve coding challenges. Each class will introduce new fun ideas and games, activities and games to learn, build on, and reinforce concepts. We will cover the basics of programming, learn about variables, and ways to store and use information in lists, dictionaries, tuples, and other structures. We will also learn about conditional statements to sort data, and user input and loops. The course will focus on fun and interesting examples to help students understand concepts that can be applied elsewhere. Course modules will cover: Module 1: Introduction to Python We will talk about variables, and work on programs to explore variables, strings, integers, and floats. We will also build a dog age calculator and work on different ways to and print strings. Module 2: Lists We will do a deep dive into the world of lists and build programs that draw from lists including a changing story based on random selections from the contents of lists. Module 3: Loops Our first examination of for loops and the ways we can use them with variables and lists to make things run over and over again without needed extra lines of code. Module 4: Conditional Statements Conditional statements will let us sort though data, and we will use if/elif/else statements to sort through data, play a game against the computer, and organize our data by condition Module 5: Dictionaires Once we have covered the basics, we will work on the next data type in python, dictionaries. These let us store more complex kinds of data, and organize our code in key and value pairs. Each session will include fun games, activities and programs we create together that we can explore as we code.
Learning Goals
By the end of the camp, students will learn the basics of programming in Python, and be able to create simple programs on their own. In addition, students will learn how to create programs that store and manipulate data, and build programs that respond to various conditions.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be coding with the free program Mu (https://codewith.mu/) which works on both PC, Mac, and other systems.
Supply List
We will be coding using the free program Code with Mu. All code from each session will be provided and shared in the classroom

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love teaching programming using fun and interesting examples because it helps students go farther than learning hard to contextualize concepts. Understanding what we are doing and why means that students will be able to apply algebraic concepts (like x+y) having understood examples like (red bike + blue bike) in a way that has context and meaning.
