Learn Python by Building Games!

Say hello to your first programming language!

Learn what Python is, what programming means, and write your very first line of code: print("Hello!")

Storing stuff in named boxes

Learn how to store information in variables — named boxes that hold your data until you need it.

Python is a super calculator!

Discover how Python can do math — addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and more!

Playing with text and words

Learn how to work with text in Python — join words, repeat them, slice them up, and more!

Create silly stories with code!

Use everything you learned — variables, strings, and print — to build a Mad Libs story generator!

Teaching Python to choose

Learn how if and else let your program make decisions — do this if something is true, otherwise do that.

True, False, and nothing else

Meet the simplest data type in Python: True or False. Just two options, but incredibly powerful!

Bigger, smaller, or equal?

Learn how to compare values in Python — is this bigger than that? Are they equal? Let Python judge!

Ask a question, get a mysterious answer!

Build a Magic 8-Ball that gives random answers to your questions using if/else, comparisons, and randomness!

Doing things again and again

Learn how for loops let you repeat code without copy-pasting. Tell Python how many times to repeat and it just does it!

Keep going until you stop

Learn while loops — they keep repeating as long as a condition is true. Perfect for when you do not know how many times to repeat!

Counting made easy

Discover the range() function — your best friend for counting and repeating in loops.

Draw pictures with text!

Use loops and strings to draw pictures made entirely of text characters. Create patterns, shapes, and art!

Collections of anything!

Learn how to store multiple items in a single list. Make a list of names, numbers, or anything else!

Add, remove, sort, and slice

Level up your lists! Learn to add items, remove items, sort them, and slice out pieces.

Key-and-value storage

Learn dictionaries — a powerful way to store data using named keys instead of numbered indexes.

Build a simple task manager!

Combine lists, loops, and input to build a working to-do list app that lets you add, view, and complete tasks!

Make your own commands!

Learn how to create your own functions — reusable blocks of code that you can call whenever you need them.

Inputs and outputs

Level up your functions! Learn to pass information in with parameters and get results out with return.

Build a working calculator!

Use functions with parameters and returns to build a calculator that can add, subtract, multiply, and divide!

Dice, luck, and guessing games!

Learn how to use the random module to build dice rollers, lucky number generators, and guessing games!

Draw shapes with code!

Imagine a turtle with a pen. You tell it where to move, and it draws! Learn to create shapes, spirals, and art.

Build a story game!

Learn how to build text-based adventure games where the player makes choices that change the story!

Build a complete interactive story game!

Combine everything you have learned to build a full text adventure game with multiple paths, items, and endings!
