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.

Once you have Python installed, please make sure to Create Your GitHub Account and Submit the First Assignemnt.

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.
For projects that require a file upload, you will need to change the Nine Weeks in the top right corner of Focus.
If you are working on a future assignment and get stuck, you must wait until I can help students with current projects first.
