Description
Python in Jupyter for Kids
Class Goal
This class is designed to teach beginners computer programming using the Python language. The goal is to introduce students to the Python language and its ecosystem. After this introduction level class, students will be able to continue exploring Python on their own.
To reach this goal, we’ll start with the basics (expressions, statements, data types, variables, conditionals, loops and libraries). We will learn Python programming by writing elegant syntax, making our programs easier to read and efficiently solve the problem as expected.
We will also work our way up to advanced concepts, such as lists/arrays, dictionaries, exception/error handling, etc.
To make it more interactive and allow us to immediately see our programs’ outputs, we will use the Jupyter Notebook running inside a web browser. It provides visualization along with markdown text notes explaining the progress of the programs.
Jupyter Notebook is run inside the web browser, so it will work on Mac, Windows and Linux computers.
Course Outline –
I have created a Jupyter Notebook file that describes and illustrates the features of Jupyter Notebook and how Python code is written and run inside, along the line of the above class goals. I am inserting below the screenshots of that Jupyter Notebook here not only to lay out the course outline, but also to show potential students how the Python programming environment will be like.
I would like to have a class time of 15 hours to perform this teaching plan and achieve the class goal, if possible.
