Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some coding experience, our interactive coding activities will grow your problem-solving skills, and have you coding like a pro in no time. Here’s what you’ll build during this action-packed Python coding bootcamp:
Morse Code Translator: Learn fundamental Python concepts while creating a translator that converts your text messages into dots and dashes.
Typing Speed Test: Sharpen your accuracy and increase your words-per-minute as you program a tool to measure typing speed and track improvement.
Snake Game: Develop a classic arcade-style game, then challenge your classmates to see who can get the highest score.
Computer Vision Breakout: Take your skills to the next level by coding a dynamic game that uses real-time camera input to move your paddle and break those bricks!
