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.

Running your program


To run your program, enter your command line or terminal window and type the following command:

python first_calc.py

Your program should run through addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulo, and print answers to the user for each set of numbers that they enter. If there are errors when the program runs, the error messages from your computer will usually tell you that something is wrong. The error message will even tell you what line of code in your file has the problem so that it is easier to debug (find and fix errors in) your code.
