Advanced Platypus Coding

Take a deeper dive into fundamental programming concepts using Platypus, a button-based programming tool inspired by Python. Over 50 hours, students will develop computational thinking skills such as decomposition, debugging, and iterative design while exploring key topics like loops, conditionals, functions, and variables. They will also gain an understanding of how computers represent data, including binary and hex color codes. Through engaging miniprojects, students will solve real-world problems, design custom worlds, and create interactive programs, fostering creativity and problem-solving. This course provides a solid foundation in coding for students with no prior experience, preparing them for future computer science learning.
