Python Programming for Grades 6 and Up - Afternoon Session

Python ( http://www.python.org ) is used for creating games, websites, and much more. Python is a real programming language used by professionals. We will create several simple text (no graphics) games. Some programming experience is helpful, but not required. You will make much better progress if you can type.
