Python : Loops, arrays, functions and procedures using Trinket

Set of 14 lessons created to introduce why loops ( for and while) are used in programming by drawing a range of different shapes. Text handling including 1 D and 2D arrays. Procedures and functions are investigated by drawing shapes and controlling electronics in Tinkercad. Includes all program solutions - Python source files. Includes lots of exam questions to test understaning (with answers) Created for Computer Science GCSE Course
