includedClass Experience
In this intermediate level course, students will strengthen their Python programming skills and begin making more complex projects. Students learn to use Pygame to create GUI applications and games, including a painting app and infinite runner game. In addition, students are introduced to HTTP requests, python dictionaries, and data analysis techniques in order to prepare them for future machine learning projects. Project-based lessons reinforce python fundamentals and teach students how to design games and structure larger programs using classes and objects. Students will be asked to apply what they’ve learned to create a final project of their own design which will be presented on the last day of class. There will be some reinforcement quizzes for students to complete after lessons, along with review games that will be played in the final class meetings to ensure students remember material and are prepared to take the next steps in their programming adventures. For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.
Learning Goals
Students will learn advanced Python programming skills through project-based lessons, focusing on creating GUI applications and games using Pygame.
They'll also gain proficiency in HTTP requests, Python dictionaries, and data analysis techniques, culminating in the development of a final project showcasing their acquired skills.
Syllabus
10 Lessons
over 2 WeeksLesson 1:
Environment Setup
Due to the higher complexity of projects, students will learn to write and run python locally using Thonny. Students will learn how to use some of the helpful features of this beginner-friendly Python IDE to understand errors in their code. Additionally, pip will be introduced, and students will install a module using the package manager in Thonny.
Project 1: Turtle Test Program
Students will write a short turtle graphics program to test out their new programming environment.

Lesson 2:
Intro to Pygame
Pygame is a cross-platform module in Python. It includes computer graphics and sound libraries the students will be able to use in their programming. Students learn the basics of creating graphics like dots and bouncing rectangles.
Project 2: Raining Circles
Students will use what they’ve learned to create their own animation of colorful circles from a pygame template project.

Lesson 3:
GUI with Pygame
Students are introduced to pygame events, and use what they have learned so far to create their first GUI program that allows a user to place dots on a screen. With a few simple additions, they finish this lesson with a basic painting program.
Project 3: Basic Painting Program
Students will create a simple program to paint on the screen with different colors.

Lesson 4:
More Pygame Features
Students will extend their projects from the previous lesson to include more features. They will learn to create a scalable interface, use images in pygame, and implement smarter collision detection.
Project 4: Advanced Painting Program
Students will add more features to their basic painting program to change the brush size and create a scalable canvas.
