A fun, beginner-friendly introduction to Python designed especially for kids!
This 6-page Intro to Python STEM Learning Packet helps young learners understand the basics of computer programming through creative activities, debugging challenges, and hands-on code writing. Perfect for homeschool, enrichment, STEM rotations, or early computer science units.
This cheerful, age-appropriate resource teaches foundational coding concepts — including algorithms, commands, semantics, debugging, and variables — through simple explanations and interactive pages. No screens or prior experience required!
👩💻✨ What’s Included (6 Pages):
Kids explore what Python is and learn that computers follow step-by-step instructions called algorithms.
Students complete an algorithm to teach a robot how to draw a smiley face and then imagine what they might build with Python by drawing their own invention.
Intro to Python STEM Homeschool…
Students learn one of the most important Python commands: print(), which tells the computer to show text on the screen. They see an example, observe the output, and then write their own print statements in a code editor box.
They are encouraged to draw what their output would look like — building conceptual understanding of how code produces results.
Intro to Python STEM Homeschool…
This page introduces Python syntax — the rules that tell the computer how to read and run code. Kids learn about quotation marks, spelling, parentheses, and case sensitivity (“print must always be lowercase!”).
Students correct broken code by identifying mistakes such as missing quotes, wrong capitalization, missing parentheses, or incorrect spellings.
Intro to Python STEM Homeschool…
Kids write three print statements to create a “Python Poster” about themselves — a playful way to practice accurate syntax while expressing fun facts.
They then illustrate their poster to show what their code represents, connecting coding with creativity.
Intro to Python STEM Homeschool…
Students debug a 7-line story about Eli and Maya learning about space. Each line contains one Python error — capitalization, misspelling, missing parentheses, or missing quotes — and learners must add what’s missing or cross out and correct what’s wrong.
This activity strengthens logic, attention to detail, and reading comprehension of code.
Intro to Python STEM Homeschool…
A kid-friendly glossary of essential Python terms: Python, print, variable, string, indent, and syntax.
Students trace each word and read a simple definition that reinforces understanding of core concepts.
Intro to Python STEM Homeschool…
