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


In this chapter, you learned many new concepts. You learned about comparison operators, the symbols that allow us to compare two items. You also learned about if, elif, and else, which are three conditional words that let us tell our program how to make different decisions based on the information that a user enters. You learned about the for and while loops; both are very important in making programs that give feedback. You also learned a bit about how to use global variables, which can be shared with all the functions in a code file.

Hopefully, you are keeping up with everything we've talked about so far! It may feel a little overwhelming, but we will continue to review the concepts we learned in this chapter by building some new projects in the next chapter.
