Scratch, Python & Web Development by Sowmya

This course, led by Sowmya, is designed for students who want to begin their coding journey through block-based programming (Scratch, MIT App Inventor) and then move into text-based programming with Python and Web Development (HTML).
The curriculum is crafted to help young learners develop computational thinking, creativity, logic-building, and real project-building confidence—making coding fun, accessible, and meaningful.

Whether a student is a complete beginner or someone interested in developing real digital skills, this course provides a structured pathway from visual coding → Python basics → web development fundamentals.

What Students Will Learn

The course is divided into three major learning modules: Scratch, Python, and HTML-based Web Development.

1. Block-Based Coding (Scratch & MIT App Inventor)

Ideal for absolute beginners, especially school children.

Topics Covered:

• Introduction to block programming

• Creating animations, stories & interactive games

• Using loops, conditions & events through blocks

• Sprites, motion, sound & broadcasting

• Logical decision making

• Simple mobile apps using MIT App Inventor (buttons, screens, actions)

Outcome:
✔ Students understand coding logic visually
✔ Strong foundation for text-based coding
✔ Ability to build and share creative projects (games/apps)

2. Text-Based Coding – Python (Beginner Level)

A smooth transition from visual coding to real programming.

Topics Covered:

• Installing or using online Python IDEs

• Input, output & variables

• Data types (int, float, string, boolean)

• Operators & expressions

• Conditional statements (if, elif, else)

• Loops (for, while)

• Lists & dictionaries (basics)

• Introduction to functions

• Hands-on mini exercises & small programs

Outcome:
✔ Students learn syntax-based programming
✔ Develop logical and problem-solving skills
✔ Foundation for future advanced programming (AI, ML, etc.)

3. Web Development – HTML (Beginner Web Skills)

Topics Covered:

• What is a website?

• HTML structure & tags

• Headings, paragraphs, images, links

• Lists & tables

• Simple webpage layout

• Building a personal webpage

Outcome:
✔ Ability to create basic webpages
✔ Understanding of how websites work
✔ Real portfolio-building for school/college projects
