Python for AI

Students take a deeper dive into coding using Python. Students will transition from block coding, which they learned in Scratch, to text-based coding. They will learn fundamental Python skills as they build creative stories, animations, and games. Basic topics will include using Python syntax, variables, loops, functions, and built-in data structures. In these classes, students will begin using Python for AI and data science. We will explore more advanced elements of Python such as dictionaries and files and learn how to employ Python’s powerful modules to build games, stories, and real-world data projects.

Intermediate level class: Scratch coding experience and familiarity with basic coding blocks are recommended but not required. Students must have a laptop or desktop device with Zoom, a Chrome browser, and high internet connectivity.

Prerequisites: You must have taken Scratch 1-3 with us or equivalent; familiarity with basic coding concepts such as conditional, loop, variable, and events.
