Description:

Concepts: Introduction to Python Programming (variables, lists, loops, conditional statements etc.)
Coding Explorers is an interactive, story-based summer program that introduces middle school students to the fundamentals of Python programming through hands-on, math-infused adventures. Over the course of one week, students become junior explorers navigating the imaginary Python Jungle, solving puzzles, decoding clues, and exploring the jungle and finding treasure.
Designed to blend creativity, logic, and basic mathematics, the course transforms programming for problem-solving and exploration rather than just coding. Each lesson links a core programming skill—such as variables, list, loops, or conditionals with a relatable real-world scenario.
