training materials and learning environment for teaching kids python available
Hi all, This is a set of training materials I used to successfully teach Python to kids as little as 10 years old. It was a success because the kids didn't just finish the course, they independently completed most of the coding challenges by applying the knowledge they had learned. The first four lessons and a lite version of the learning environment are freely available at: https://www.istudycenter.org/yes-kids-can-learn-python Let me know your ideas.
Many thank yous for sharing this. I'm on board with having the language control things, ala Logo, actual physical devices, as in Arduino or Lego, or virtual, as in Codesters and your GUI / API. André Roberge , an edu-sig subscriber, has a strong track record on the "control robots" front. https://github.com/aroberge The maintainer of Python's native turtle module is also an archive contributor. https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/turtle.html We've been recently debating its coordinates feature, André having identified an inconsistency. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2018-June/011908.html etc. Welcome aboard.
