Course Description

Skill Level: Beginner-Advanced Format: | Small-Group, Live Virtual Duration: Weeklong program, 3 hours per day About This Course Begin your journey into computer programming with Python, one of the most in-demand coding languages in the world! You’ll develop essential programming skills by working through logic games, learning foundational algorithms, and even exploring some of the libraries fundamental to neural networks. Course Outline • Explore the Fundamentals of Python: Explore the fundamentals of Python with an introduction to variables, user interaction, and conditionals. Using these skills, they’ll start coding an interactive guess-the-number game. • Advance to Coding While Loops & More: Advance coding with loops, functions, and classes, enabling students to create more advanced programs when combined with libraries like NumPy and Matplotlib. • Define Classes & Inheritance Relationships: Utilize object-oriented programming, and students will explore the PyGame library. They will begin creating arcade-style games and spend time exploring machine learning. • Add 2D Movement & Collision Detection: Incorporate features like 2D movement, collision detection, and obstacles into the custom games they build with PyGame. • Polish Games with Custom Features: olish their games with custom features to wrap up the week and finalize their projects.
