Python Hands-on Session
Session Breakdown:
Time Activity
0 - 10 mins Introduction to Data Types & Basic Operations
10 - 20 mins User Input & Type Conversion
20 - 35 mins Conditional Statements (
if-elif-else
)
35 - 50 mins Loops (

, )
50 - 70 mins Hands-on Coding Activities & Challenges

Data Types and Basic Operations (10 minutes)
Theory (5 mins)
int
● Data Types: float
, str
, bool
,
+,
● Arithmetic Operations: -,
* /,
, // %,
, **
Example 1: Basic Arithmetic Operations
a = 10
b = 3
print("Addition:", a + b)
print("Subtraction:", a - b)
print("Multiplication:", a * b)
print("Division:", a / b)
print("Floor Division:", a // b)
print("Modulus:", a % b)
print("Exponentiation:", a ** b)
Example 2: String Operations
name = "Python"
print("Hello " + name) # Concatenation
print(name * 3) # Repetition
Taking User Input (10 minutes)
Theory (5 mins)
●
input()function always returns astring.
● Usetype conversion(
i
nt() float()
, ) for numerical input.
Example 3: Taking User Input
. n
1 ame = input("Enter your name: ")
2. age = int(input("Enter your age: ")) # Converts input to an integer
3. print(f"Hello, {name}! You are {age} years old.")
Activity:
● A
sk students to modify the program to take their favorite color and print a
message.
Conditional Statements (
if-elif-else
) (15 minutes)
Theory (7 mins)
●
ifchecks a condition.
●
elif(else if) handles multiple conditions.
●
elseexecutes if no conditions are met.
Example 4: Check Even or Odd
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
if num % 2 == 0:
print("Even Number")
else:
print("Odd Number")
Example 5: Grade Classification
marks = int(input("Enter your marks: "))
if marks >= 90:
print("Grade: A")
elif marks >= 75:
print("Grade: B")
elif marks >= 50:
print("Grade: C")
else:
print("Grade: Fail")
Activity:
● Write a program to check whether a person is eligible to vote (age ≥ 18).
Loops (
for while
, ) (15 minutes)
Theory (7 mins)
●
forloop: Used when iterations are known.
●
whileloop: Runsuntila condition becomes False.
forLoop
Example 6: Print Numbers Using a
for i in range(1, 6):
print("Number:", i)
whileLoop
Example 7: Print Numbers Using a
c ount = 1
while count <= 5:
rint("Count:", count)
p
count += 1
Example 8: Multiplication Table using a Loop
um = int(input("Enter a number: "))
n
for i in range(1, 11):
print(f"{num} x {i} = {num * i}")
Activity:
forloop.
● Printall even numbersfrom 1 to 50 using a
Hands-on Coding Activities (20 minutes)
Students will apply concepts learned by solving small coding challenges.
Challenge 1: Reverse a User’s Name
ame = input("Enter your name: ")
n
print("Reversed Name:", name[::-1])
Challenge 2: Find the Largest of Three Numbers
= int(input("Enter first number: "))
a
b = int(input("Enter second number: "))
c = int(input("Enter third number: "))
if a > b and a > c:
print(f"Largest is {a}")
elif b > c:
print(f"Largest is {b}")
else:
print(f"Largest is {c}")
Activity:
● W
rite a program to calculate the sum ofall numbers from 1 to N(where N is
user input).
Mini Project (20 minutes)
Simple Banking System
Concepts Used:
if-else
● Variables, , loops, user input.
balance = 1000 # Initial balance
while True:
print("\nWelcome to Simple Bank!")
print("1. Check Balance")
print("2. Deposit Money")
print("3. Withdraw Money")
print("4. Exit")
choice = int(input("Enter your choice: "))
if choice == 1:
print(f"Your balance is: ${balance}")
elif choice == 2:
amount = int(input("Enter deposit amount: "))
balance += amount
print(f"Successfully deposited ${amount}. New balance: ${balance}")
elif choice == 3:
amount = int(input("Enter withdrawal amount: "))
if amount > balance:
print("Insufficient balance!")
else:
balance -= amount
print(f"Successfully withdrew ${amount}. New balance: ${balance}")
elif choice == 4:
print("Exiting... Thank you!")
break
else:
print("Invalid choice! Try again.")
Activity:
● Modify the code to limit3 incorrect login attemptsbefore exiting.
Q&A Session (Last 10-15 minutes)
● Discuss doubts and explain any unclear concepts.
