Coding Projects in Python Synopsis

Using fun graphics and easy-to-follow instructions, this straightforward, this visual guide shows young learners how to build their own computer projects using Python, an easy yet powerful free programming language available for download.

Perfect for kids ages 10 and over who are ready to take a second step after Scratch, Coding Projects in Python teaches kids how to build amazing graphics, fun games, and useful apps. All they need is a desktop or laptop, and an Internet connection to download Python 3.

Step-by-step instructions teach essential coding basics like loops and conditionals, and outline 14 fun and exciting projects, including a script that cracks secret codes, a quiz to challenge family and friends, a matching game, and much more. When they are feeling more confident, kids can think creatively and use the tips and tricks provided to personalize and adapt each project.

The simple, logical steps in Coding Projects in Python are fully illustrated with fun pixel art and build on the basics of coding, so kids can have the skills to build whatever kind of project they can dream up.

Supporting STEM education initiatives, computer coding teaches kids how to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically, and is quickly becoming a necessary and sought-after skill. DK’s computer coding books are full of fun exercises with step-by-step guidance, making them the perfect introductory tools for building vital skills in computer programming.

Coding Projects in Python Review

Something that you may not know is that I am still in school. I did graduate from the Cosmetology program at my school in May, however, I decided to go back to get a more specific Associate Degree. I did this for two reasons, the first being to have a fallback degree in case anything happens with Cosmetology and secondly because after talking to people in business I learned that I stand a better chance in getting small business loans for opening my own salon or business by having a degree partnered with my Cosmetology that isn’t a general or generic degree. I currently have an Associate’s in General Education so I would need something more specific. Why am I telling you this? Because the degree that I decided to go back and get is an Associate’s in Computer Programming. I chose this because I felt that it would make a terrific fallback degree in the Aiken / Columbia, SC area AND it’s something that I can actually partner with my Cosmetology by creating apps, programs, and other things specific to the cosmetology field. That is actually why I chose to review this book!

I’m actually super glad that I got to review this book. Yes it is geared towards kids, however, if you’re an adult with a child who likes computers and computer games, flipping through this would actually teach you a few things that you could show your kid that they would find interesting and then YOU could teach them instead of the book. This way you would understand what they were talking about when they get excited about other projects. On the other hand, if you’re just not interested in computer programming, and hey it’s not for everyone so no shame in that game, this book is laid out in a way that once you download and install Python for them (download Python here) they’ll be able to create several different projects on their with the book without any help. Although, do expect to be shown different programs, quizzed by a program, and play with different programs as they go through the book. That being said, I can not recommend this book enough! Computers aren’t going anywhere and programming jobs are in high demand so what better way to prepare your child for the future then to get them started with computer programing with a book that is designed to teach them programs that are of interest to their age level.

About Cassie

I started Southeast by Midwest back in 2012 as a lifestyle blog. After a few months I felt a pull towards beauty so I rebranded as a beauty specific blog. Over the years I've grown my knowledge and love of beauty products to the point that I am currently in Cosmetology school.
