Description

Create a Christmas Tree or Holiday Card that actually moves! We will be using Python with Turtle to design the tree, create text, and even add ornaments and lights made by programming. The animation skills learned in this class can be used for future designs or even bigger drawings. 

Turtle is a pre-installed module within the Python coding library. It allows users to create art using a virtual canvas. Students will learn basic programming concepts to create graphics easily using "Turtle" programming logic from simple shapes, and coloring, to complex designs. 

 

Students will learn:

  • Programming Animation
  • Functions
  • Variables
  • Logic
  • Sequencing
  • Problem Solving

 

Class Requirements:

  • Students should know how to use a computer
  • Know how to type
  • No tablets! (Chromebooks should be fine)

 

Prior to Class:

Create an account in repl.it 

 

Important Note: Our system will send you the link to join the class 30 minutes prior to the start time of the class.

Instructor Bio:

Hi, I'm Mr. Cardenas! I have 3 years of teaching experience with Elementary, Middle, and High School Students. I have over 6 years of experience tutoring Elementary to Freshman College Students. All kids have different learning styles and can not be taught the same way. Understanding how one student thinks, how one learns and processes information is key to a successful session. Not only that it will keep them engaged, and interested. 

 

Educational Background, Degrees, Licenses:

  • Game Designer and Programmer
  • Bachelor of Science

 

Favorite Quote:

  • “In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.” -Yoda


Fun Fact:

  • Video games will be the new normal in teaching, training, and work environment 

 

Frankie says:

The instructor is patient and friendly. My child finds it easy to follow along and said the knowledge helped him to find more tools to design his games.

Chris says:

Our daughter was new to Minecraft online and this was a great starter program for her. The instructor was patient and supportive. Highly recommended. Our daughter has done a lot of language learning but this allows her to expand into a variety of projects using what she has learned and learn new things.
