What you'll learn:
- Python programming
- How to interact with Python in the browser
- How to program a virtual car in a virtual world
- The most important concepts in computational thinking
Starting to learn how to program can seem like a daunting task if you’ve never done it before, especially if you try to go from zero knowledge to programming an entire car to drive around a city! But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can learn in stages, and this course will help you with that process. In each stage, we’ll build on what you’ve already learned and give you another level of challenges and concepts to work with that are more complex than what you’ve done previously.
This course will focus on how to get started with programming while learning Python. We will use an innovative virtual world with cars and roads, learning how to use Python and programming concepts to make them navigate the streets.
Python is a great beginner language because it’s designed to be easy-to-use. It’s also the fastest growing programming language. It can be used for web development, data analysis, game design, artificial intelligence, and much much more!
The course is beginners, and no background in programming is needed. I apply the years of experience in teaching and guiding students in computational thinking to help you get started quickly in bite-sized interactive lessons lessons.
