Description
Creative Coding in Python teaches kids the fundamentals of computer programming and demonstrates how to code 30+ fun, creative projects using Python, a free, intuitive, open-source programming language that's one of the top five most popular worldwide.
Computer science educator Sheena Vaidyanathan helps kids understand the fundamental ideas of computer programming and the process of computational thinking using illustrations, flowcharts, and pseudocode, then shows how to apply those essentials to code exciting projects in Python:
- Arcade games and apps: Understand GUI (graphical user interfaces) and create your own arcade games and apps.
- Geometric art: Use turtle graphics to create original masterpieces.
- Interactive fiction: Explore booleans and conditionals to invent “create your own adventure” games.
- Chatbots: Discover variables, strings, integers, and more to design conversational programs.
- Dice games: Reuse code to devise games of chance.
- What’s next? Look at exciting ways to use your powerful new skills and expand your knowledge of coding in Python.
Creative Coding in Python gives kids the tools they need to create their own computer programs.
Marketing Plan
We will leverage the author's previous features and pitch to media that have covered her in the past, such as KQED MindShift, EdSurge, and ScientificAmerican.com.
We will create fun coding tips & graphics to be shared with bloggers, parenting media and across QuartoKids platforms.
This is a slighly older audience than Unofficial Minecraft STEM Lab for Kids (9781631594830), which is scheduled to come out in May, but it will appeal to a very similar audience, so we will pitch fans of the earlier book.
The December publication date makes it a good fit for Holiday Gift Guides from bloggers and suggestions for books to keep kids mentally active during Winter break.
As a secondary focus, we will pitch the author as an expert for stories about the importance of learning coding for kids (and, especially, encouraging girls) as a building block for all STEAM subjects.
