🧠 Week 3–4: Making Decisions and Repeating Things
Focus: Control flow using if/else and loops
Activities:
If statements for quizzes or mood checkers
for loops to animate text
while loops in guessing games
Rock-paper-scissors logic
Project: Build a “Truth or Dare” or quiz app
📚 Week 5–6: Data Collections – “List it Out”
Focus: Storing and using multiple items
Activities:
Lists (favourite songs, movies), dictionaries (user profiles)
List sorting/shuffling (think playlists!)
Nested data (inventory in a game) Project: Digital locker or movie
recommendation tool
🔧 Week 7–8: Functions & Game Mechanics
Focus: Reusing code and creating mini games
Activities:
Writing custom functions
Using Python’s random, time, and math
Game logic: scorekeeping, lives, win/loss Project: A mini game like a
text-based RPG or dice duel game
📁 Week 9–10: Files, Errors & Intro to OOP
Focus: Saving data and using classes
Activities:
Writing to files (e.g., journaling or score history)
Basic error handling (try/except)
Create your own class: "Pet", "Avatar", or "Gadget" Project: Build a
virtual pet or simple banking simulator
🎨 Week 11: Final Project Planning – “Code What You Love”
Focus: Dream it, design it, build it
Ideas:
Chatbot for a fandom
Goal tracker for school/sports
Random meme generator
Simple text-based adventure game
🏁 Week 12: Final Project Build & Showcase
Focus: Complete and present your final project
Deliverables:
Polished code
README file
Demo (recorded or live)
Peer feedback & celebration
💬 Teaching Style
Short lectures, lots of hands-on coding
Peer programming and review
