LearnPython

A set of very simple step-by-step projects for learning Python.

Introduction

I developed this project to teach Python to Elementary students (ages 8-10). Each python program introduces one or two topics at a time, and gives the student a chance to experiment with the ideas before moving on to the next program.

The Lessons

1 - hello-world.py

Introduces comments and the print() function.

2 - print.py

Introduces strings, characters and variables

3 - ask.py

Introduces the input() function and concatination of strings.

4 - ask2.py

Introduces the if statement.

5 - guess_color.py

Introduces the while statement

6 - spam.py

User defined functions

7 - birthday.py

User defined functions with arguments
