What will be taught? -In this exclusive course, students will master the basics of Python programming while designing a complete space-themed game. They will enhance their creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills through engaging, hands-on projects. What topics will you cover? - Python fundamentals: loops, conditionals, variables, and functions - Turtle module: drawing shapes, screen animations, and object movements - Game mechanics: keypress detection, collision detection, scoring, and game states - Debugging and refining code for real-world applications How is your class structured? -The course consists of 8 step-by-step sessions, each focusing on building a specific component of the game. From creating a satellite to completing a space shooter, each class delivers clear learning outcomes that add to the final game. How will you teach? -Our experienced instructors teach through live, interactive coding sessions. Students follow along, practice in real-time, and receive immediate feedback. Concepts are taught through demonstrations, collaborative problem-solving, and practical exercises. What's your teaching style? -Our teaching approach is engaging, structured, and student-centered. We simplify complex topics into manageable steps while fostering a creative and interactive learning environment. How much will learners get to interact with us? -Students will interact directly with instructors during live coding demonstrations, discussions, and collaborative problem-solving activities. Sessions encourage questions, peer collaboration, and one-on-one guidance to ensure personalized learning.
Learning Goals
