AI + Python Curriculum is up!
Are you looking for a coding course that not only teaches programming fundamentals but also introduces your students to the world of artificial intelligence? The Intro to Computer Science with Python & AI course is a comprehensive, student-friendly curriculum designed to do just that. No prior experience required.
This project-based course equips students with essential 21st-century skills: programming, problem-solving, and computational thinking, all while having fun with creative challenges like designing snowflakes, building virtual dice, and developing their own AI models!
What Will Students Learn?
Over the course of 7 units, students dive into the foundations of Python programming, explore computer science concepts through interactive labs and tutorials, and get hands-on experience with AI. Here’s a look at the journey:
Unit 1: Computational Thinking
Students start by learning the core skills of problem decomposition and logical thinking through interactive games and puzzles.
Unit 2: Intro to Python
From their first “Hello World!” to using loops and operators, students learn the syntax and structure of Python through approachable exercises.
Unit 3: Turtle Graphics
Art meets code. Students draw shapes, build snowflakes, and even create their own Turtle-based games using loops and randomness.
Unit 4: More Python
This unit goes deeper into conditionals, variables, lists, dictionaries, and even flowcharts — culminating in an RPG-inspired project and an Inspirational Quote Bot.
Unit 5: Advanced Topics
Students solidify their understanding of loops and functions to build more efficient, reusable code.
Unit 6: Project Challenges
Open-ended challenges such as a Tip Calculator, Guess the Number, and an Automated Ordering System let students apply their skills creatively.
Unit 7: Artificial Intelligence
The highlight of the course! Students are introduced to machine learning, where they build models that predict outcomes like test scores or sentiment scores based on input data.
