Code Adventures: Python Programming

Write your first code! Variables, loops, functions — all through fun projects.

What this module covers

Code Adventures is the Python module. It assumes no prior coding: the first chapter is a student's first program, and each chapter after it adds one idea, from variables and numbers to working with text and getting input from the user.

The middle chapters cover control flow (if statements and loops) and reusable code (functions). The last chapters are the ones AI work depends on: lists and dictionaries, reading and writing files, working with CSV data, and handling errors so a program does not crash on bad input.

Start coding in Python! Build your first AI projects — chatbots, image editors, games, and more.
