Introduction to Python Programming: Building Logical Thinking with Code

CODE ORBIT PYTHON PROGRAMMING Program Overview This beginner-friendly Python program introduces students to Python as a versatile programming language used in software development, automation, and creative computing. Students will learn programming fundamentals through hands-on coding exercises while developing logical thinking, problem-solving, and computational thinking skills. Mentor: Priyanshi Srivastava | Time: 11:00 AM CST | Fee: FREE Format: Live Online via Google Meet | Total Sessions: 15 Schedule: Every Monday and Wednesday Start Date: June 15, 2026 | End Date: July 29, 2026 Key Concepts • Python fundamentals • Variables and data types • Input and output • Operators and expressions • Conditional statements • Loops • Functions and modular programming • Problem-solving and logical thinking • Basic debugging • Building interactive programs 15-Session Roadmap Sessions 1–3: Introduction to Python, programming fundamentals, variables, data types, input/output, and basic operators. Sessions 4–6: Conditional statements, Boolean logic, decision-making, and interactive text-based programs. Sessions 7–9: Loops, nested loops, problem-solving strategies, and coding exercises. Sessions 10–12: Functions, parameters, return values, modular programming, and reusable code. Sessions 13–14: Mini-project — students design a branching escape-room puzzle using modular functions and create an original riddle or logic challenge. Session 15: Final Project — students build and present a functional Python application using concepts learned throughout the program.
