Introduction to Computer Programming with Python and Web Page Creation

Course Expectations for Introduction to Computer Programming:
This course, intended for students with little or no programming experience, provides an introduction to Python, one of the most popular and user-friendly programming languages, and to programming in general. The last segment will introduce students to web page creation via HTML and CSS.

Participants become familiar with fundamental computer science concepts and are challenged through the use of programming problems and hands-on assignments to develop logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. Students will create a game of their choosing as part of the course.

By the end of this course, students should have a solid understanding of variables and user interaction, control flow statements, and using library functions.

Technology Requirement:  Students much have a laptop with a Core i5 CPU and 8Gb or RAM, or better. They will bring this laptop to class each day.

Class will meet one day per week in person, and a specified "office hour (or two)" will also exist for a second opportunity to communicate with the instructor each week.

ARCHES tutorial-based classes are designed to supplement course work being done in home schools, thereby following the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church in proclaiming parents as the primary educators of their children.

Recommended for students in 9th-12th grade.
