Description
In this project, students are introduced to Python, a text-based programming language. They complete coding missions to develop the characteristics most valued in a programmer. To start, they ignite their curiosity by exploring scripts to discover how they are put together. Next, they create a series of games including Pet Monster Rescue, Guess It, and Adventure Quest. These foster logical thinking, persistence, and creativity, and are ideal for beginners. Upon completion, students share their favorite Python program in a coding presentation to build strong communication skills. Fun activities highlight the importance of being a team player. Do more than copy lines of code. Have your students develop original scripts using variables, loops, functions, and conditionals using the Python coding language.
- Python Programming Activities for Beginners
Designed especially for middle and high school, lessons introduce text-based programming with fun, engaging activities. Spark student interest in the Python coding language. - Ignite an Interest in Computer Science
Complete missions to develop the programming expertise and soft skills valued in a programmer. Foster logical thinking, creativity, and persistence. - Programming Resources
TechiePython includes a digital Teacher Guide and Student Workbook with easy to follow instructions. Worksheets may be printed or used in PDF format. Assessment tools include debugging challenges, peer review, marking sheets, quizzes, and a skill checklist. Tracking sheets and mission certificates recognize progress. - Do More Than Copy Lines of Code
Hands-on activities support exploration, discovery, and experimentation. Students gain confidence as they construct their understanding of programming concepts such as variables, loops, and conditionals. Lessons explicitly teach troubleshooting strategies to build independence. Python coding language basics can build an interest in careers in technology.
