Recommended mini-challenge: Choose from turtle drawing, if statements, for loop drawing, or Baby Shark.
Review of functions, if statements, loops, & variables using Connect 4 game, plus some new ideas:
Recommended mini-challenge: For loop drawing challenge. If you're still shaky on for loops, we made a tutorials page that might help.
If you already feel confident about for loops, you can move on to the "Output to CSV files" activity below.
Activity: Visualizing data about Pokemon and their moves
Code for this activity is here
New ideas:
We're going to start off by spending a few minutes playing with micro:bits. These are tiny computers with buttons and lights that you can program to do just about whatever you like!
You can get to the code editor by going here (you will have the option of working with either blocks or written python). We recommend taking a quick look at the Getting Started tutorial, and then working through the tutorial on using button presses.
Next, we'll spend some time brainstorming the question:
Eventually this is going to lead into thinking about the project(s) you'll be working on over the next 4 weeks, but we want you to start by thinking big! Imagine it's five years from now and you know lots and lots of Python. What would you make?
