Campamento de una semana de programación en Python

This camp gives an introduction to Python with emphasis on practice and solving real programming problems. 
Python is a great programming language for teens and tweens to learn. 

In this class, we will start with language syntax, variables, reserved words, operations on various data types. We will then teach if conditions, for and while loops to do basic algorithms. 

We will work on real programming problems such as finding the maximum in an array, merging arrays, building nested loop structures, error checks, etc.


Topics covered:

1: Python data types and operations: numbers and booleans
2: Python Strings and operations
3: Methods, arguments and return types
4: Loops: for loops
5: Arrays: traversing a single array
6: (Optional) Basic Algorithms on arrays (will be covered if class going at a good pace)
  
In each class we will start with learning something new and then learners will be asked to do a small exercise to make the concept really sink in.

Learners will use an online programming site called onecompiler.com to type and test their code. This helps us focus on the class material and not the IDE. If learners already have an IDE installed and can get help using it, they may use that instead too. IDE is totally optional. The class will only use onecompiler.com throughout.

We will learn concepts using a mix of code as well as slides. Both will be available to learners during the class.

If learners miss a class. they should watch the recording and do the examples taught before their next class.

Prerequisites:
* Learners must know how to type and how to copy-paste text. 
* They should also know how to share their screen.
