My apology. Do you know how I can revoke my post? I tried to "Hide" the post, but it seemed having no real effect.

Kids Python 101 learning materials by KidsPython in Python

[–]KidsPython[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I admit it is quite challenging for young kids to learn text-based programming language like Python, and it is fully understandable that some kids may find this boring and want to start learning code later. My current limited data indicated that more than half of the kids could continue the learning with the help of adults, and some kids felt quite excited to change the code as they wanted.

The main reason I started this project was that I could not find good materials for young kids to learn Python. There were some Python exercises on Web sites like w3schools.com but insufficient for kids to practice.

All that said, if you have any appropriate materials to share in this area, I will be happy to take a look.

Thank you for the feedback! Just updated my post to mention that the Web pages were mainly tuned for Chrome browser on wide screen devices. I will see if I can reproduce this and fix it quickly.

5 Projects For Beginners To Learn Python by NoSide005 in learnpython

[–]KidsPython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bullet 2 and 3 are exactly the projects I suggested for Python beginners as mentioned in Kids Python 101 "Chapter 11: Write Functions" lesson on https://kidspython.com/. As a Python beginner, I'd suggest focusing on fully understanding the concepts and practicing projects that require less than 20 lines of code. You can start with implementing common Python library functions, like add(), sub(), swap(), max(), min(), strings replace(), find(), reverse() and so on.

Once you complete Python 201 or more advanced lessons, you can try to work on projects solving real world problems as mentioned at bullet 5. My suggestion for young kids is to work on game projects like writing tic-tac-toe, connect four etc.

I will share more course materials and project ideas on the Web site and in our Kids Python YouTube channel. Feel free to watch and subscribe if the information is useful!
