Description:
            Learning to code can be fun – you just need to get started!  Python is one of the most popular programming languages today. In this class, you will learn the basic building blocks of programming by creating your very own program in Python. You will master coding concepts, think independently, and express your creativity through various games and activities. This is a beginner level class.
Pre-requisites:

• Grade 6+ (middle and high school students)
• Laptops or desktops. Do not use mobile devices such as iPads, tablets or Chromebooks.
• No prior coding experience is needed. However, if you did Scratch before, this class would be a suitable next step for you.

Teacher: Alexander Yoshida
            I am a senior at Panther Creek High School and passionate about computer programming and game development. I started coding in Scratch in 3rd Grade and created many fun games. Since then, I have learned Python, JavaScript, C# and C++. I hope to share my experience and help others to explore the wonderful world of computer programming.
