Begin a programming journey that will unlock the power of Python! Learn the fundamentals of this general-purpose, high-level programming language with a fun, step-by-step approach that makes coding easy and exciting for young students.
The LSU Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) and Louisiana Alliance for Simulation-Guided Materials Applications (LASiGMA) will host the PyFUN Programming Summer Camp for boys and girls entering grades six through eight (6-8) in the Baton Rouge and surrounding areas.
This 5-day camp will consist of basic concepts of programming that are used in any programming language, and will include:
• Problem solving.
• What the parts of a computer are and how they work together.
• Syntax.
• Strings and console output.
• Conditionals and flow control.
• Functions, lists, dictionaries, and loops.
• Introduction to classes.
• File input and output.
Complete fun mini-challenges throughout the week, and get a taste for real-world programming!
