January: Variables, Strings, and Conditionals. Start off your programming journey by learning about using the fundamentals: variables, strings, and conditionals. This month you’ll learn how to return information to users based on their inputs, and how to adapt what your program returns based on what your user says

February: Iteration and Functions. This month is all about functions – pieces of code that you can run many times to do a repetitive task – and iteration – going through a set of instructions for a set number of times. Then use these tools to create your own Sudoku solver that can crack even the toughest puzzles

March: Arrays, dictionaries, and using external files. The name of the game this month is matrices. You’ll learn how to manipulate and use arrays and dictionaries, as well as how to create arrays and dictionaries through the use of outside file-formats like.csv

April: Sorting algorithms. Much of modern programming is based on creating effective algorithms to sort massive amounts of data. This month you’ll learn some of the approaches to sorting and cleaning data and apply that knowledge to real-world problems and data sets

May: Design and Project Planning. Use Scope to build a small project using the skills you’ve learned in Python – or learn as you go! This month takes you through the software design process from scoping to designing interactions to debugging your final project
