This course is the Python version of Tennessee Coding I. It covers the same Tennessee Computer Science standards as our original JavaScript-based Coding I course, but all lessons, examples, and projects use Python.
The course includes units on 2D lists and reading/writing files, along with the core programming fundamentals you'd expect from an intro coding course, including variables, loops, conditionals, and functions.
