Coding Classes
Python Arcade Series: Tetris
Introduce your child to the world of programming with Python, one of the most popular and accessible programming languages. Students in this class will learn the basics of programming while developing coding habits that will translate into any programming language.
Class Schedule(s)
0 availableClass Description
This class serves as an introduction to Python, although more experienced coders are also welcome. We will spend this class building the arcade game Tetris from scratch, in the process learning many of the foundational skills of programming. This class requires no homework, although I will emphasize commenting code (essentially taking notes inside of a Python script) for the purpose of building good coding habits.
Additional Information
Class size: 1-5 students
Supplies:
You simply need to be able to run a python.exe on your computer (Chromebook will have problems here). I recommend downloading and installing this Python IDE.

About Eric Lin
Hello, My name is Eric Lin. I have been teaching programming and robotics classes for the last four years, since graduating from UCLA with a bachelors in physics in 2016. I like to conduct my classroom like a laboratory and allow students to discover through experimenting, often failing before success comes. I want to give students an environment where they have the freedom to fail, and emphasize the process more than the result. I am comfortable with all ages, having taught kindergarten all the way through high school. In my spare time I like to stay active and enjoy: hiking, swimming, camping and rock climbing.
