TECHSPARK MONACO – WHERE SUMMER FUN MEETS REAL WORLD SKILLS

Here’s why learning to Code is so important for Our Children: 

• Coding drives innovation- From self-driving cars to robot-assisted surgery to social media, computer science is revolutionizing every aspect of our lives.
• Coding is afundamental skill that children need to learn so they can lead this movement.
• Coding allows kids to be creative- They can create projects that do really amazing things.
• Coding builds confidence- It is incredibly empowering for children to be able to create projects and show them off to family and friends.
• Coding is best learned early- Learning to code is similar to learning a second language. The earlier that children are exposed to fundamental topics like sequencing, loops, and conditionals, the more deeply they absorb these concepts.
• Coding translates to success in other areas- Learning to program supports learning in other areas, like math, reading, and science.

Introduction to PYTHON
Recommended Age Group: 11 – 18 years old

Learn Python and build your own games for web and mobile platforms.

Introduction to Python is ideal for children and young adults with some prior coding experience. In this advanced lesson plan, students will be introduced to Python as they complete engaging lessons, solve challenging puzzles, and build their own games in Python. This course is perfect for students who have already completed at least one course and are comfortable with the basics of programming logic and computational thinking. This course will help them transition to Python and adapt to the additional challenges of text-based syntax.

Students who successfully complete this lesson plan will demonstrate a strong mastery of Python syntax, as well as the ability to creatively program games and other projects and debug their own code. Students will also be able to come up with an idea for a game and take it through the entire design and implementation process, creating custom versions of many of their favorite games in Python.

Topics Covered: Python syntax, sequencing, repetition, conditional logic, nested loops, automation, pattern recognition, simple motion, keyboard and mouse events, pen drawing, operators, expressions, variables, Turtle graphics, using arrays and objects to store structured data.
