This is an online class!
Python is a text-based coding language that is easy to read with less punctuation than other languages. While it is possible to start programming with Phython without prior coding experience, it is geared toward older beginners or students with block programing experience who are ready to get more geeky. In Python, students will build from the ground up, typing all code and using graphics they generate or find. we will work with turtle graphics to build games and other creations.
