This lesson provides an introduction to the use of arrays in Python - These are called lists. The lesson goes through a range of techniques for manipulating and managing simple lists. The next lesson will cover 2D Arrays (2D Lists). Python and the Python Logo are trademarks or registered trade marks of the Python Software Foundation.

In this lesson you will learn how you can create functions and procedures. This is an essential skill if you want to create more complex problems. Python and the Python Logo are trademarks or registered trade marks of the Python Software Foundation.

In this lesson you learn about 2D Arrays or as they are called in Python - 2D Lists. You will learn how to create a list, append a new item to a list, search for an item in a 2D list and displaying a 2D list as a table.

In this lesson you are introduced to the use of relational (sometimes known as comparison) operators and Boolean. operators in Python programming. Python and the Python Logo are trademarks or registered trade marks of the Python Software Foundation.

In this video I introduce variables and how they are used in Python programs. Python and the Python Logo are trademarks or registered trade marks of the Python Software Foundation.

This lesson introduces string manipulation and explains how it is used in Python. It includes changing the case of a text string to upper case or lower case; finding the length of a string and how to use formatting to output a table of data.

When using Python you often need to save data to an external, such as a notepad file or a spreadsheet. You also need to be able to transfer data from an external to a Python program. This lesson teaches you how to handle files, including how to handle data stored in lists. Python and the Python Logo are trademarks or registered trade marks of the Python Software Foundation.

This lesson introduces four data types, str, int, float and bool and explains how they are used in Python. The video goes on to explaining casting (changing a variable from one data type to another).

This resource has been produced to teach 8 - 16 year olds about programming concepts by creating fun games using the text-based programming language Python. The activities and challenges have been designed to provide a stimulating, engaging and effective way of improving students knowledge of the core programming concepts. In this game students make a noughts and crosses game (tic tac toe) using Python. Students learn about sequences, selection using IF, variables and the use of iteration (Conditional and Count Controlled loops), 1D and 2D arrays.

This video provides an introduction to the use of data types in programming. It’s a good idea to watch the video on variables before you watch this video. Find out about String, Integer, Real, Character and Boolean data types. Find out about how casting can be used to change a variable from one data type to another.

This video has been produced to help teachers and provides them with some great tips, from an educational point of view, about how to make a success of online teaching and remote learning.

This video provides an introduction to the use of variables in programming. It’s best if you watch this video before you watch the video that explains data types. Python is used as the programming language in this video.

This video provides an introduction to the CPU and Von Neumann Architecture. It is aimed generally at students completing GCSE computer science, but can be viewed by anyone interested in the structure of the CPU.

This video provides an introduction to the CPU and the Fetch Decode Execute Cycle. It is aimed generally at students completing GCSE computer science, but could be used by anyone who wants to know more about the fetch decode execute cycle.

This photocopiable resource has been produced to provide 7 to 13 year old students with exciting and engaging opportunities to learn coding concepts using Scratch. There are enough activities for 4 to 5 lessons. This has been updated to work with Scratch 3.0. Students have the opportunity to complete written activities and complete practical activities. Topics covered include: Algorithms Sequences Iteration (Repetition) Selection Variables

This pack contains all of the Scratch templates for use with Games Pack 1 and Games Pack 2. It also includes Scratch Templates to be used with the Xmas and Halloween Activities. There is a PDF/DOC version with links to the online templates and a collection of .sb3 templates that can be downloaded on to your computer network or standalone PC.

This resource has been produced to teach children from 8 to 13 years of age about programming concepts using Picoh the robot and a block-based programming language. The activities and challenges have been designed to provide a stimulating, engaging and effective way of improving students’ knowledge of core programming concepts. Topics covered include: Algorithms Sequences Iteration (Repetition) Selection Variables The activities can be carried out using the virtual Picoh robot that is built into the software, but it’s much more engaging for students to use a “real” Picoh. Downloading the Picoh App The Picoh app is currently available for Windows 10. Simply visit the Windows Store and search “Picoh”. Once you find the app click on get and the app will download Find out more by visiting the Ohbot Website.

This worksheet and video can be used by absolute beginners to coding (KS2 and KS3). They use Picoh the Robot to code a guess the number game. The programming language is a block -based language based on Scratch. Once you have coded the game it’s time to play it! The activities can be carried out using the virtual Picoh robot that is built into the software, but it’s much more fun to use a “real” Picoh. You could also dress up your robot so that he/she becomes the host of the game! Downloading the Picoh App - The Picoh app is currently available for Windows 10. Simply visit the Windows Store and search “Picoh”. Once you find the app click on get and the app will download. Find out more by visiting the Picoh website.
