Python Basics Robotics Course (Ages 9+)

Course Overview:
This beginner-friendly course introduces kids to Python programming and robotics. They’ll learn Python language fundamentals, build projects using Raspberry Pico, and create simple games using Pygame.

EXAMPLE PROJECTS:
• Python’s If-elif-else Mysteries (PYBASICS103): Work with strings, functions like len(), and character extraction.
• Loops and For Loops (PYBASICS104): Learn how to create and use loops for repeated actions.
• Operators (PYBASICS107): Explore Python operators like +, -, /, and *.
• Blinking Christmas Lights (PYBOT101): Control LEDs with Raspberry Pico using Python.
• Detecting Distance with Ultrasonic Sensor (PYBOT102): Build a distance detector and blink lights conditionally.
• Pong Game with Python (PYGAME001): Use Pygame to program and control objects in a classic Pong game.

LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR YOUR CHILD:

By the end of the course, kids will:
• Understand the basics of Python, including variables, loops, operators, and debugging.
• Gain hands-on experience with Raspberry Pico and learn to control hardware using Python.
• Explore robotics fundamentals, including sensors and outputs like LEDs.
• Build logic-driven programs using if-elif-else conditions and loops.
• Develop problem-solving skills through debugging and creating custom Python projects.
• Create simple games with Pygame, understanding game mechanics like object movement and collisions.
