About this title

Synopsis

Games and activities that teach kids ages 10+ to code with Python!

Learning to code isn't as hard as it sounds―you just have to get started! Coding for Kids: Python starts kids off right with 50 fun, interactive activities that teach them the basics of the Python programming language. From learning the essential building blocks of programming to creating their very own games, kids will progress through unique lessons packed with helpful examples―and a little silliness! 

Kids will follow along by starting to code (and debug their code) step by step, seeing the results of their coding in real time. Activities at the end of each chapter help test their new knowledge by combining multiple concepts. For young programmers who really want to show off their creativity, there are extra tricky challenges to tackle after each chapter. All kids need to get started is a computer and this book. 

This beginner's guide to Python for kids includes:

50 Innovative exercises―Coding concepts come to life with game-based exercises for creating code blocks, drawing pictures using a prewritten module, and more.

Easy-to-follow guidance―New coders will be supported by thorough instructions, sample code, and explanations of new programming terms.

Engaging visual lessons―Colorful illustrations and screenshots for reference help capture kids' interest and keep lessons clear and simple.

Encourage kids to think independently and have fun learning an amazing new skill with this coding book for kids. This book also makes a great Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for kids who are eager to explore the world of coding.
