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


Now that you have read this chapter, you hopefully have a calculator program that you can run! This program is more interactive and can do more things than your first program, so you should share this program with your family and friends to show them how you have improved your skills.

In the next chapter, we will learn about how decisions are made, and we will improve our calculator program by teaching it how to let a user choose which operation to perform as well as how many operands (numbers) to enter. We are going to get into things that are a bit more complicated, but we will go through them step by step so that you can understand each piece of what we are doing.
