Students will gain practical experience by creating their own text-based game as a culminating project.
This program focuses on fundamental computer science concepts, control and data structures, and best practices for coding and debugging in Python. Students will learn to create simple games and interactive programs using text-based input and output. The curriculum covers statements, variables, values, expressions, conditionals, booleans, while loops, randomness, libraries, debugging, lists, dictionaries, and functions. Participants will engage in a variety of coding exercises under instructor guidance, allowing them to explore concepts at their own pace and build skills in writing, debugging, analyzing, and comprehending code. The experience culminates in a final project where students create their own text-based game.
A typical day involves engaging in fun and engaging coding exercises under the instructor's guidance, followed by opportunities to explore and practice concepts at the student's own pace with support.
This course is ideal for incoming ninth to twelfth graders with no previous programming experience who are ready to learn at a fast pace.
