Advanced Topics

Project: Build a game

● Introduce object-oriented programming (classes and objects)
● Walk through how to create a game loop
● Guide students through building a simple game, such as a platformer or maze
game
Project: Build a chatbot
 ● Introduce natural language processing and machine learning
● Walk through how to train a model and integrate it with Python
