In this winter camp, students will explore the basics of Python programming by creating interactive stories, colorful graphics, and fun games using the Turtle module. They will learn essential coding concepts like functions, control flow, lists, and how to design programs. Throughout the course, students will work on hands-on projects, including an interactive story game, a survey with graphics, and a Turtle race. In the final session, they'll review everything they’ve learned through a mini project to apply their new skills.
Learning Goals
Understand Python fundamentals, including variables, data types, and basic functions.Apply control flow, loops, and conditionals to create interactive programs.
Syllabus
6 Lessons
over 2 WeeksLesson 1:
Introduction
An introduction to what Python is and what makes it a valuable skill to learn. We also dive into the very basic functions and data types of Python. Project 1 – Create an customizable story Students will utilize the introductory features of python learned in the first lesson to create a story that can be personalized with user input text. 60 mins online live lesson
Lesson 2:
Flow Controls
The students will learn how to manipulate a program’s control flow, which is the order in which the program’s code executes, using boolean operations, conditional statements, and loops. Project 2 – Create an interactive story game Students should now be able to use more advanced features to turn their linear stories from lesson 1 into an interactive branching quest. 60 mins online live lesson
Lesson 3:
Turtle Graphics part 1
Turtle graphics is a popular way of introducing programming to students. The students program the computer to draw on the screen to make all kinds of different shapes. Project 3 – Winding spirals Using the turtle module, students will create several colorful spiral patterns and use variables to change the appearance of the patterns. 60 mins online live lesson
Lesson 4:
Lists
Students will learn about ordered collections of data called lists, how to access list items, and how to use list functions to organize data. Project 4 – Survey with turtle Students will create interactive surveys to share with classmates and use turtle graphics to display the data they have collected 60 mins online live lesson
