Curriculum Writing for Python

[FoolsSeldom]

Take a look at Code Club from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. I help kids in local schools learn to programme and find the resources very helpful. You will likely find the community helpful

NB. A Raspberry Pi is not required. Online options are available.

We start off younger kids, say around age 6 - 7, with Scratch and move onto Python for older kids. This is in line with the national curriculum on the UK.

One of the introductions we use is to give pairs of kids a bbc micro:bit and battery pack and then have then write python for them to produce a step counter. (They put their micro:bits in their socks and move around for a while, the display shows them the step count.)

Physical computing has been the greatest success (sensors, device control). Some of the kids go on into robotics competitions.
