Python programming
for children

• We will learn variables, integer, and string data types, print and input functions, and string formatting.
• Arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• Integer division, remainder of division, rounding.

• Methods of importing modules, the use of ready-made functions from modules.
• Basic commands for drawing using the turtle module.

Modules are ready-to-use code built into a programming language that helps you perform common tasks. You can add any module to your program using the import mechanism. The student will learn how to import and use commands from the math module, which includes mathematics, and the random module, which generates random numbers and makes random choices. Moreover, the student will master turtle, a module for drawing lines and shapes on the screen using commands.

• Data type
• Comparison operators
• If-elif-else structure
• Logical operators

In this module, the student will master one of the most popular structures in programming languages called Conditions. The student will learn the Boolean data type, comparison operators >, <, ==, <=, >=, !=; simple and nested conditions, the if-elif-else structure, not and inv operators.

• while loop
• Infinite loop
• Break and Continue loop control statements.

In this module, the student will learn how to create loops, start and stop their first infinite loop, learn how to use loop control statements and counter variables to automatically stop the loop, as well as create conditional loops.

• Creating a list and list elements.
• Min, max and sorting.
• List generators (list view).

Lists are a popular data type for storing multiple objects. The student will learn about indexes and list items, how to find the max and min in a list of elements, and how to sort lists by a selected criterion.

• Pickle module. Writing/reading data to a text file.
• Datetime and time modules. Working with date and time.
• Working with the terminal, installing non-standard modules through the pip package-management system.
• Blur module. Processing images, drawing shapes on an image, adding text and watermarks.

Your child will learn how to work with files on a computer, and using a programming language, he or she will automatically record different text in text files and learn how to read the contents of text files. Moreover, the student will learn how to read from a file and how to record to a file with more complex structures, such as lists and future data types.

• Creating functions, arguments, parameters, and getting the result.
• Positional and named arguments, default parameters.
• Using the operator *.
• Scope.
• Lambda functions.
• Decorator.

Functions are one of the most common concepts in programming. In this module, the student will learn how to create functions, what are arguments and parameters (what they are) and why we need them, and how to return the result from a function.

• Deferred launch of a function. Using lambda expressions.
• Exception handling: try, except, finally, else
• Message box and using exception handling.
• Key binding using the bind method.
• Forget and destroy methods.
• Pyinstaller module. The .exe file converter.

• Creating sets, possibilities of sets, changing sets
• Intersection of sets, union of sets, difference of sets

A set is a data type that stores only unique data in an unordered way. In this module, you will learn how to create sets, how to convert other data types to sets, how to find out if sets are equal, what are the properties of sets, how to find out the belonging to a set and the power of a set, as well as how to iterate over the elements of sets, add and delete elements in sets.

• Creating nested arrays
• Generator of two-dimensional arrays
• Search for diagonals
• Array rotation

In this module, the student will learn two-dimensional arrays (or, in other words, matrices), as well as ways to use matrices and solve tasks that involve two-dimensional arrays.

Object-oriented programming (or OOP) is one of the most important and complex concepts in programming.

This block covers the creation of basic game classes, the concept of class objects (creating specific characters), the class constructor (for creating characters with ready-made characteristics), and the OOP paradigm:

• inheritance, where new, more complex game classes are created based on the basic ones;
• encapsulations where access to some characteristics is limited;
• polymorphism, where the programmer uses the same names of variables and methods in each game class; in addition, as part of polymorphism, the load of operators (arithmetic operations and built-in methods) is studied.

To master this topic, the student will complete several projects and workshops including tasks related to the covered issues.

• Requests and BeautifulSoup4 libraries. Web scraping basics.
• Telegram or Discord library. Creating a Telegram or Discord bot and launching it on Heroku.
• Git basics. Versions, creating a repository on Github, init, add, commit, remote, push, and other commands.
