In this one time class, students will learn how to use the Twilio API to send text (SMS) messages from python to a cell phone.

Class experience

In this class, we will be talking about connected data, variables, strings, APIs, and a number of other topics. Students will learn how to use an API to authenticate their account, and send the results of a python program to as a SMS message.
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. 
Homework Offered
Students are encouraged to keep adding to the code we create, and develop their own programs based on the starting point we assemble.

Grades Offered
In the class everything will be provided for us to work on the code together. Once the class ends, students will be provided with the code we built. The code can be run on pythonanywhere.com on the cloud, or on your own computer after installing python and an IDE like Geany or Sublime Text. Students will also need to set up a free Twilio account and get a virtual number. With a basic account, students are only able to send a text message to their own accounts.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Following the class, to make this activity work on their own computers, students will also need to set up a free Twilio account and get a virtual number. With a basic account, students are only able to send a text message to their own accounts. The program will only let one account receive text messages (which could be the student's cell phone or virtual number like google voice), but it is important that parents are aware of what the students are doing, particularly if you pay for each message received (this could be expensive). In the class  learners will not share phone numbers between themselves, but code along with the step by step instructions showing how this is done using a demo account.
