Advanced Level
🏕️ Python Level 3 Programming Camp for Kids! 🚀 What will be taught? Students will learn how to create a basic version of the classic Space Invaders game using Python and the Turtle graphics library. They will develop skills in game development, including creating sprites, handling animations, implementing game loops, managing user input, and utilizing conditionals for game mechanics. What topics will I cover? Introduction to game development with Python Using the Turtle graphics library for graphical output Creating and manipulating sprites and animations Implementing game loops to control gameplay Handling user input for player interaction Utilizing conditionals for game logic and mechanics Students are encouraged to post questions, share sample code, and showcase their projects every step of the way. This fosters a collaborative environment where students learn from each other and practice more complex code reading. Instructors provide regular feedback and guidance to support student progress. This class offers a supportive, positive, and fun environment for all participants! While previous coding experience is recommended, we ensure every student feels comfortable and confident. In our courses, students join interactive groups where they can: - Share Knowledge: Post questions, sample code, and projects to learn from peers. - Practice Reading Code: Get hands-on experience reading and understanding more complex code. - Receive Expert Guidance: Instructors provide regular feedback and guidance to support student progress. Students should be comfortable typing and know how to copy/paste on their device. 💻📚
Learning Goals
Students will dive into game development. They'll learn game mechanics, interactive graphics with Turtle, and essential programming concepts like loops and conditionals, preparing them for more advanced projects.
