SKILLS LESSONS

Lesson 1: Skills


Golf with Python Turtles
,
a great introduction to the start of term: 
​

Lesson 2: Skills and NEA


​In this lesson you will complete the golf coding challenge and then your teacher will share the NEA task with you. Look over them and decide which one is most suitable for you.
​

Lesson 3: Advanced skills


​In this lesson you will learn some more advanced skills.  Remember you are not learning how to code but, how to think computationally, problem solve and find solutions.
