After getting in contact with a teammate’s old classmates from a school in Argentina, we set up a beginner’s Python class for anyone in that area between the ages of 13 and 17 from August 3rd to 7th. Conducted almost entirely in spanish, we taught 10 beginner-level students to make small programs and games, a great first step on their software-learning journey. Five days of crash-course Python were able to get all students able to code small games relatively independently. We are proud that we were able to help them get started in learning software given how important of a skill it is in this increasingly technology-heavy world.
In the first coding class for beginners; we downloaded Python, and we taught basic math and how to make variables, lists, tuples and maps. When the class ended we gave each student a puzzle to solve with what they learned. We lost some of the footage :/
In the second coding class for beginners, we first checked the puzzles, and we taught if-statments, if-then-else statements, if and elif statements, combining conditions, none variables and the difference between strings and numbers. When the class ended we gave each student a puzzle to solve with what they learned
In the third coding class for beginners, we first checked the puzzles, and we taught how and when to use for loops and while loops. When the class ended we gave each student a puzzle to solve with what they learned
Class 3 part 2In the fourth coding class for beginners, we first checked the puzzles, and we taught how and when to use functions and what they are, also what are modules and some modules like the time module. When the class ended we gave each student a puzzle to solve with what they learned
Class 4 part 2In the fifth coding class for beginners, we first checked the puzzles, and we made a Tic-Tac-Toe game.
