• Chapter 1 (Introduction): Covers the basics of Computer Science and programming. This appears to be one of the longest chapters, but is actually one of the easiest and shortest. There is a lot of ground to cover, but the pace is very gentle.
  • Part A: Explains what a program is and the basic input-processing-output model. Covers basics of values and types, simple math and logic, and interactive evaluation of expressions.
  • Part B: Explains variables and assignment statements. Introduces the idea of modules and organizing code with comments and imports. The last bit is about strings and string operations (e.g., slicing). Also covers the idea of errors/exceptions.
• Chapter 2 (Functions): Introduces the idea of functions as "the smallest atomic unit of programming". This chapter is a little harder than the previous, but students usually don't struggle too much.
• Part A: Starts

Hello hackers! Here are some suggestions for hacking during the Hackathon of cool things to try playing with.

For Python

Want to make something with Python? Here are some cool things you might try using:

Python in the Browser: Pyodide

Want to have Python running directly in the browser? You can use a new system called Pyodide! I found this guide that seemed like it would get you something basic going: https://testdriven.io/blog/build-spa-with-python-part-1/
