This document provides an overview of an introductory programming course for kids focusing on Python. It will teach coding skills and introduce students ages 6-13 to programming principles like documenting code, avoiding repetition, and keeping code simple. The course will be project-oriented, with a goal of having students create a Snake game in Python within a month. It will involve both online and instruction-led learning, with flexibility for extra help videos or tutoring depending on individual student needs. Rules emphasize respect, inclusion, and asking questions.

Programming fundamentals for kids guide.

2. Introduction to python for kids
• We focus on teaching coding skills and introduce students to different
programming languages appropriate for their age and experience level
which we will start with Python.
• Python has been considered as a beginner level to learn programming
• Python requires patience and practice
• It will be a hybrid of online and Instruction led
• Coding ages approximately 6 to 13 to start with

3. Programming Principles to follow
• The first principle is document your code in order for your audience to make
python easier to understand
• Second principle is don’t repeat yourself too much
• Third principle is keep your python code simple
• This is a project oriented course
• Willing to be a life-long learner

4. Rules
• Be respectful at all times
• Don’t interrupt when your peers or teachers are speaking
• Be on time
• Diversity and Inclusion are celebrated especially kids with autism
• Ask any questions you have in mind
• No plagiarizing.

5. What to do with students who are ahead or
slow
• First, the students who are ahead can do some extra credit projects. For example,
make a rock paper scissors game.
• Second, the student can tutor other peers on their free time if they’re having issues
with a certain project or hw
• If there’s a student who’s having difficulty they can contact me or their peers for
extra help.
• Additional videos could also be beneficial to students who are struggling to
understand the course.

6. What are we trying to accomplish
• We are trying to make sure all students can make snake game using the python programming
language with creativity, insightfulness, excitement, and also be detailed-oriented
• We also hope students can show their non programming friends to python if they’re willing to
learn coding.
• It will take approximately a month to finish understanding python and making a snake game
• We have a zoom meeting at least once a week but can be flexible for more than one.
• The total price could be $150 for this class
• The prerequisites for the course are a computer, python SDK installed and an IDE(pycharm,
visual studio code, etc) as well as a python for kids digital book
