Python for Kids
“Python for Kids” by Jason R. Briggs is a beginner-friendly programming book that introduces Python through clear explanations and playful examples written for upper elementary and middle school learners. Briggs walks readers through installing Python, using the Shell, and writing programs step by step, gradually building toward games and simple graphics with the turtle module. Jokes, cartoons, and challenges keep the tone light while still covering real syntax and concepts like loops, conditionals, and functions. Families use Python for Kids as a self-paced course or as a spine for a parent-led coding club, even if the adult is new to Python too.
