Summer 2023 Classes
Introduction to Python for Grades 4 and 5
Using Python’s Tracy the Turtle and our kid-friendly cloud-based coding platform, beginner students learn Python fundamentals including loops and functions. Students also learn about direction, angles, the coordinate plane, and basic geometry. Following this course, students will be recommended into our full-year classes at either the CSR-100 or the CSR-200 level. There are no downloads required for this class, and students are able to optionally access their work outside of class time from any laptop, Apple, or Chromebook with an internet connection. This is an in-person class.
