Python for Educators

Description

Why learn Python?
Python is a programming language: a tool for humans to communicate with the computer and with other humans! Python is very practical, and is taught in thousands of schools and universities. It is great for building web apps, video games, manipulating data, and more!

In this workshop, we’ll explore a variety of coding concepts and practices, while experiencing an example lesson that you can use with your own students. You’ll have the opportunity to practice your Python skills through building a safe password generator, and will leave with some awesome (free!) resources to help you get started with using Python in the classroom. This can be applied for grades 5-7.

This session can be applied to grades 4-12.
