saraha Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hey all, My 7th grader has successfully completed all of the coding lessons on Kahn Academy and has discovered a real knack/interest/talent with it (I guess, I have NO clue about coding and just let her have the reins on this). Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do next? Like, I really have no idea in this arena. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daijobu Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner by Michael Dawson. It is not written specifically with kids in mind, but the assignments are all about games, so it's pretty fun. After working through half of the book (through OOP) he can sign up for the AoPS online python classes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraha Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) She said she has learned jquery and java script. She wants to be game builder. I had her start on Kahn Academy because it was the only thing I know, haha. She started out on Scratch, which led to the Kahn Academy, but I have been very hands off with this subject.

beaners Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 My 7th grader says that she should try Unity to make games. It looks like it uses scripts with C#. I'm not sure what the best option is for learning it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
