Say hello. Store a name. Pick a path.

Who this level is for

Kids who have never written code, or anyone who wants a gentler first path than the main Python tutorial.

Ages 7–10. That is a guide, not a gate. If the examples feel slow, open Intermediate. If they feel hard, stay here and run each sample in thePython editor.

What you will do

• Make the computer say hello
• Store a name in a box (a variable)
• Ask a question and print the answer
• Choose a path with if / else
• Finish two tiny projects: Mad Libs and a number guess

Start with What Is Coding, then follow Next at the bottom of each page.

Real life — learn it faster

Each chapter ties the idea to something you already do: a backpack, a snack stall, a rainy window. Read the scene, run the code, then the syntax sticks.

• What Is CodingGetting dressed in the morning.
• Hello, WorldA name sticker on the first day of class.
• Print and TalkA packing list for a sleepover.
