Coding With Python

Grades 5th To 7th

In this class kids dive into text-based computer programming with the user-friendly Python language! Python is a challenging yet logical next step for budding programmers who have learned Scratch and are ready for more. Kids tackle techniques such as lists, if statements, and loops while refining their problem solving and logical reasoning skills. By the end of the class these young coders can build basic scripts such as text-based adventure games. Previous experience coding with Scratch or similar highly recommended.
