What You Will Learn

Day 1: First Steps & Saying "Hello"

*Learn what Python is and why it's popular.

*Print text to the screen using print().

*Create your first script: a "Hello, World!" program.

Day 2: Storing Information (Variables & Data Types)

*Think of variables as labeled boxes to store data.

*Learn about text (Strings), numbers (Integers/Floats), and true/false values (Booleans).

*Practice changing the data stored in variables.

Day 3: Making Decisions (If/Else Statements)

*Teach Python how to make choices using if, elif, and else.

*Use comparison signs like greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (==).

*Build a simple program that checks if a user is old enough to drive.

Day 4: Creating Collections (Lists)

*Learn how to store a collection of items (like a shopping list) in a single variable.

*Practice adding, removing, and changing items in a list.

*Understand how to grab a specific item using its position number (index).

Day 5: Repeating Tasks (Loops)

*Use for loops to go through a list item by item.

*Use while loops to repeat an action as long as a condition is true.

*Save time by letting Python handle repetitive tasks automatically.

Day 6: Reusable Code (Functions)

*Learn how to bundle a block of code together using def so you can use it over and over.

*Pass information into functions (arguments) and get results back (return).

*Clean up your code so you don't have to type the same thing twice.

Day 7: Advanced Data Storage (Dictionaries & Tuples)

*Learn about Dictionaries, which store data in pairs (like a real dictionary: Word \rightarrow Definition).

*Learn about Tuples, which are like lists that can never be changed.

*Choose the right storage tool for different types of data.

Day 8: Handling Mistakes & Reading Files

*Prevent programs from crashing when errors happen using try and except.

*Learn how to safely open, read, and write text files on your computer using Python.

Day 9: Small Text Tools (String Shortcuts & Modules)

*Master useful shortcuts for modifying text (making it all uppercase, splitting sentences, etc.).

*Learn how to import and use pre-written code (modules) built into Python, like math or random.

Day 10: The Grand Finale (Build a Simple Project)

*Combine everything you've learned into one final project.
