Come and learn to program! This introductory course uses the Python language to teach the basics of programming structure and syntax. There are lots of programming languages out there—we’ll use Python because it’s relatively easy and powerful. That’s a good combo. Together we’ll create games and solve problems. All abilities are welcome and encouraged.

Note: This was our first attempt at creating an Intro to Programming course. This page won't be updated until I teach Intro to Programming again. If you're interested in our current Intro to Programming course, please visit Mr. Torrence's webpage.

Almost all of the resources on this page were originally created by Dr. Aaron Bradley of Summit Middle School. I've done some reformatting and rewording to add clarity. Enjoy!
