Class Experience

In this class we will continue what we learned in the Python Programming for Beginners or your previous exposure to Python relating to strings (words), integers (numbers) and variables (the containers that hold information). We will get into some new and exciting areas of Python including lists, party invites, adding, removing, and changing lists and a lot of interesting programming. We will discuss methods and topics in programming and build on a foundation of variables, to make interesting programs using index positions. This is a great introduction to programming, and a fun and interactive way to demystify programming with fun examples. Math will be kept to a minimum, and focus on variables like a party, the pet store, silly recipes, and more. Using this approach, students learn math and programming concepts without being afraid the numbers, along the way.

Learning Goals

Students will understand what lists in Python programming are, how to create and store variables, lists, and make simple programs.

Other Details

Supply List
Python is not needed for this lesson, a video will be sent out following the class with directions to use python in the cloud or on your computer, along with all the files we create during the class. I will be coding using the online platform Repl.it and sending code and links following the class. I will also send information to run Python on your computer or in the cloud to practice what we learned.

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.
