CodeCraft: Python for Everybody

Python Programming (Program)

Materials and Supplies Included in partnership with CodeCraft

This class is 2 of Code Crafts most popular Coding Courses combined! 
Students will be in-person Class with a certfified CodeCraft Instructor Mondays and Wednesdays for the Fall Semester and continue their studies on Wednesday in the Spring. 

Course 1: Python for Everybody

Description: This foundational course introduces the versatile Python programming language.

Students will learn Python syntax, data structures, and fundamental programming concepts

through interactive exercises and projects.

Objectives:

●Write, execute, and debug basic Python code.

●Utilize core Python data structures (lists, dictionaries, sets, etc.).

●Understand control flow (conditional statements and loops).

●Gain exposure to essential programming concepts like functions and modules.

●Develop problem-solving skills and algorithmic thinking.

Goal:

●Establish a solid foundation in Python for future specialization in various software

development domains.

Course 2: Coding Strategic Games with Python: Tic-Tac-Toe

(10 hours)

Description: This hands-on course challenges participants to build their own Tic-Tac-Toe game

using Python within the Codecraft Works game editor. Students will learn how to create a

computer-guided character capable of playing strategically, ultimately demonstrating the

"zero-sum" nature of the game when both players employ optimal strategies. Multiple strategies

will be discussed, allowing students to compare and contrast the different approaches to

winning.

Objectives:

●Learn the rules and specifics of Tic-Tac-Toe game development.

●Understand Python code indentation and project requirements.

●Create the basic game structure and user interface.

●Implement defensive strategies for the computer player.

●Explore advanced techniques for blocking opponent moves and targeting weaknesses.

Goal: Empower students to build a complete Tic-Tac-Toe game in Python, showcasing their

programming skills and game development capabilities.

Potential Career Paths: Game Developer, Python Developer, Software Engineer.
