Creating GitHub Account

Students need to create a GitHub account. Follow the instructions in the video below to do so. Once you have created your account AND verified your e-mail address, post your GitHub username in the Teams meeting chat. Once you have received the invite, you can open the AJHS GitHub Team page to accept the invite.

Installing Python

The next thing students will need to do is install the Python software so you can start writing and executing code. Please follow along with the instructions in the video below. If you are using a Chromebook, you may need to search the Microsoft Store or your App Store for Python software. If it is not available, you MUST get access to a regular computer to install this sofware.

Future Nine Weeks Assignments

The assignments listed here are assignments that are due later in the year.

Students are always free to work ahead and submit them.

If you are working on a future assignment and get stuck, you must wait until I can help students with current projects first.
