I talked a little more about what programming languages are and introduced the one we will learn this semester, Python. I also introduced the environment we will be starting with, Turtle Graphics. Turtle Graphics is released with Python and gives us a nice, visual way of getting used to some of Python’s syntax (structural elements like colons and tabs). Students got a chance to start playing with the language and I challenged them to build me a house using functions for each part of the structure.
