Introductory Python Curriculum

The goal of the beginning programming camp is to imbue learners with a strong foundation in programming skills, exposing learners to common programming patterns that can be leveraged to further the exploration of Python or will make applying similar concepts in other languages a breeze. Many of the topics will be covered in the context of creating simple computer games with actual code.

Topics

  • File and computer management concepts
  • Common command line interactions
  • How programs work and how to write code
  • Common patterns, variables, control structures, data and data structures
  • Testing and Debugging
  • structures, branching, looping, etc.
  • Concepts in algorithm development
  • Procedural and Functional programming
  • Introductory Object-oriented programming
  • How to write (relatively simple) computer games
  • Where to go for next steps
