Session
Teaching Python to young learners can be both exciting and rewarding, especially when using interactive, visual tools. In this workshop, "From Play to Python," participants will explore how to make coding approachable by starting with block-based programming tools. These tools simplify coding concepts and provide a fun, hands-on experience for beginners.
We will guide participants through creating projects using these visual tools and then show how to transition to Python. Along the way, we’ll explore effective teaching strategies, share practical examples, and provide resources to inspire the next generation of coders. This 90-minute interactive session is perfect for educators, parents, and anyone in the Python community looking to teach coding to young learners in an engaging and playful way.
