Middle School Python

A CodingBat-modeled Python track for middle-school students: fast warmups, string/list drills, logic branches, loops, functions, debugging, and a small original project.

This sequenced path uses cited public learning materials plus practice authored for PeerTutor. It does not reproduce provider exercises and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the linked providers.
