Python Projects for Kids

By: Jessica Ingrassellino

Overview of this book

Kids are always the most fast-paced and enthusiastic learners, and are naturally willing to build stuff that looks like magic at the end (when it works!). Programming can be one such magic. Being able to write a program that works helps them feel they've really achieved something. Kids today are very tech-savvy and cannot wait to enter the fast-paced digital world. Because Python is one of the most popular languages and has a syntax that is quite simple to understand, even kids are eager to use it as a stepping stone to learning programming languages. This book will cover projects that are simple and fun, and teach kids how to write Python code that works. The book will teach the basics of Python programming, installation, and so on and then will move on to projects. A total of three projects, with each and every step explained carefully, without any assumption of previous experience.

Summary


Hopefully, this book has provided you a solid introduction to basic Python concepts. By no means are you an expert as Python is a powerful language that can do a lot more than can be presented in one book. However, if you worked through each of the games, you will have a solid Python foundation on which to build your next steps.

One way to keep using Python is to continue to work on challenges and games while digging into code architecture, classes and objects, and more advanced game coding using objects, custom images, sounds, and other effects. Python is not used in traditional game systems, but game design concepts work well in any object-oriented language. Once you are comfortable in Python, you can move toward more common game design languages, such as C++, with a lot more ease.

Another way to use Python is to learn more about data applications and how to use Python to work with different kinds of data and mathematics. This is a really great way to get further into exploring Python...
