2018 term 2: week 5 & 6: Define Functions and Program of Choice

Programming students will be learning to define and call their own functions using Python, then will spend some time taking all of our learned concepts and creating a program of their choice!

2018 term 2: week 4: Loops

Programming students have been introduced to Python programming!!  We have installed Python on our machines, along with Pycharm as your text editor and developer environment.  By now the class has mastered the print command, assignment statements, input, variables, and are working on if statements.  Next week we will be moving on to loops.  We will spend a lot of time with for loops and while loops.  I am very impressed with how well the class is doing, and seeing how they are able to solve computational problems with programming!

2018 term 2: week 3: Python

We have finished learning about the development cycle, and students have used this process to identity and solve computational problems, and have finished their assessment on using abstraction.  We will take a short amount of time on Monday to be sure everyone is caught up and have their program sheets turned in.  We will then install Python and Pycharm on the computers and will start learning the basics principles of how Python works as a programming language.  We will then start working with those basic principles and putting together our first programs.
