Python Level 3 is all about taking tools used to tackle modern problems and applying them to our own programs. Where Level 1 and 2 were all about learning basic to intermediate concepts, Level 3 focuses on problems in your life that you would like to solve using code. Each unit in the course is dedicated to a modern technology. Students will tackle game engines, virtual assistants (like Amazon Alexa and Google Home), and finish off with a unit dedicated to student curated programs.

Much of the challenge of the course will be adapting to the learning curve presented when using new libraries from around the web. Students will learn how to...

●Create programs that are designed for the user experience

●Solve problems using elegant solutions (the simplest and most effective solution possible)

●Identify the differences between computer programming and computer science

●Use Python to solve personal problems

●Understand how to work with Python files on your local machine

●Manage and maintain versions of new libraries/packages

●Applications of modern programming technologies

‍

Homework will always be to complete whatever material was left over in class. Students will have a dedicated assignment once every 2 weeks (maximum) for which they will be given a 15 - 30 minute headstart in class.

As for materials, students will need:

●A computer running Windows 8/10/11, Mac OSX or any version of Linux

●A proper install of the latest version of Pycharm (This will be covered in class)

●A proper install of Python 3.6 or higher(This will be covered in class)

●A 2 screen setup or large monitor is preferred so that students can see the instructor’s code and follow along at the same time
