This 8-week Python with Turtle plan introduces kids (ages 10-15) to programming through fun, visual projects. In Week 1, they set up Python, learn Turtle basics, and draw simple shapes using loops. Week 2 introduces functions, allowing them to reuse code efficiently while exploring patterns like spirals and stars. Week 3 covers variables and user input, letting kids personalize their drawings with random colors and dynamic sizes. Week 4 dives into advanced patterns using nested loops, creating mandala-like designs. Week 5 makes Turtle interactive by using keyboard controls to move and draw, leading to a simple drawing app. Week 6 focuses on game development, with kids coding a Turtle racing game and a Pong game. In Week 7, they pick and develop their own creative projects, applying their skills independently. Week 8 is for final touches, presenting projects, and exploring advanced topics like Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). The plan uses engaging challenges, real coding concepts, and interactive visuals to build confidence in programming. Kids can use Trinket, Replit, or IDLE for coding, with projects ranging from geometric patterns to basic games. By the end, they will have a strong Python foundation and be ready for more advanced coding adventures.
