SSEC Programming Class

The Need:

We work with the SSEC (South Shore Education Collaborative) to provide classes that go over basic programming skills. Computer science students write a fun and interesting curriculum and serve as the teachers for the class. Through the class we hope to encourage students to become more involved in programming and use the skills they learn to expand their interests.

The Solution:

A 5-7 week programming curriculum that covers the basic skills necessary for students to become acquainted with and comfortable in beginner-level Python.  Focused on interactive activities and deliverables such as games and other small projects. As often as possible, we will integrate activities that involve movement so that students can get a break from sitting at computers for an entire hour.  By the end of the course, students should have a basic understanding of programming in Python, as well as a final game/product built!
