70101 Programming in A Python (Seaholm)
Programming A in Python is designed to introduce students to computer science and programming
fundamentals using the Python language. Students will cover topics including printing and variables,
user input, if statements, conditionals, looping, functions, exceptions, and data structures. This course
provides a solid foundation in Python programming. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to
take the IT Specialist in Python Certification. Through engaging projects like creating games such as
Blackjack, Roulette, and Rock Paper Scissors, students will develop logical thinking and problem-solving
skills. By the end of the course, participants will have acquired knowledge equivalent to a semester-long
introductory programming course, making this course an ideal starting point for those with no prior
background in computer science. College credit available; see teacher for details.
Industry Credential Offered: IT Specialist in Python
Prerequisites: None
Grades Taught: 9, 10, 11, 12
Credit: .5
