Your student will learn how to code with Python, one of the world's most popular coding languages.  This is a highly interactive class with students interacting with other students and the instructor regularly.  Some projects we will complete include random friend selector, pizza shop app, weather website, and more over the 8-weeks. Students should already have a good understanding of variables, functions, conditional statements, and loops before starting this class. The teacher will be providing feedback on submitted student projects and practice questions throughout the course. Please, see parental guidance for more information. Your student will be amazed at what they can do at the end of 8-weeks and be excited about continuing their coding journey.

Build Fun Games, Applications, and Projects with Python 

Over the course, students will complete 4 projects with Python. These projects include:

Fizz Buzz Mini Project
Pizza Shop
Draw Shapes with Classes
Space API Project 
Space Invaders Game

These projects allow students to apply what they have learned with Python while building fun projects! 

Pair Programming and Group Space Invaders Game

Students will work together to develop a space invaders style game. Students can add code and features to the game. Every student will share their game and work to contribute code or features for the final class game. This helps students apply what we have learned, and also develop the important skills of coding with others. This only becomes more essential as students continue on their coding journey!

Interactive Groups

Every student is required to post questions, sample code, and their projects every step of the way. This gives students the chance to learn from each other and start practicing reading code. The instructor will also be providing feedback and guidance throughout the course. 

The class is a supportive, positive, and fun environment for all students! 

********* This is an advanced beginner level course and students need a good understanding of Python foundations. They should have completed the Level 1 and II Python Summer Camps or the 8-week Python for Beginners Course.  Please, contact me if you have questions.  **************
