Introduction to Coding with Python
Move into text-based programming with Python through practical, project-based lessons. Students build programs, solve coding challenges, and develop the skills to plan, test, and troubleshoot their work independently.
What students do
Students explore text-based programming through practical projects and coding challenges using Python. Lessons introduce variables, user input, loops, conditionals, and functions, with unplugged activities that reinforce logical thinking and program flow. Students practice writing programs, reading error messages, and solving problems independently as they build a foundation for further programming.
