Creative Coding With Python

Have you ever wanted to make a computer talk, draw pictures, or play a game that you designed yourself? In Creative Coding with Python, students will learn how to turn their imagination into code! Python is one of the world's most popular programming languages—and one of the most fun for beginners. Through hands-on lessons, students will explore how code can create art, tell stories, and build interactive games.

Each week, students will learn a new way to use Python creatively. They'll start by designing chatbots that can hold conversations, then move on to drawing digital art with code, writing choose-your-own-adventure stories, and building simple games like dice rollers or guessing challenges. Lessons combine clear instruction with open-ended projects, giving students room to experiment and express their ideas.

By the end of the course, students will have built a portfolio of Python projects that show their creativity and growing coding skills. Whether they're making an animated art piece or a talking robot, they'll see how coding can be both a logical puzzle and a powerful artistic tool. No prior programming experience is required

This course requires the use of a laptop (no tablets). The Robinson Center will provide devices for this class.
