Python for Kids - Extended Course

Total Sessions: 5

Target Age: 11-14

Prerequisites: Basics of Python (variables, if, for, while)

Session 1: Functions in Python

Objective: Learn how to create and use functions to organize code

What is a Function?

A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. It helps you reuse code and keep

programs organized.

Syntax:

def function_name(parameters):

# code block

return result (optional)

Topics Covered:

- Defining a function using def

- Calling a function

- Function with parameters

- Function with return value

Examples:

1. Simple function:

def say_hello():
print("Hello!")

say_hello()

2. Function with a parameter:

def greet(name):

print("Hello, " + name + "!")

greet("Ali")

3. Function with return value:

def add(a, b):

return a + b

result = add(3, 4)

print(result)

Practice Activities:

- Function to calculate the square of a number

- Function to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

- Simple text-based calculator using functions

Session 2: GUI Basics with Tkinter (Part 1)

Objective: Create simple windows and understand the structure of a GUI

What is a GUI?

A GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows users to interact with programs using windows, buttons, and
text fields.

Basic Tkinter Components:

- Tk() - creates the main window

- Label - displays text

- Entry - allows user input

- Button - clickable buttons

- pack() - arranges the widgets

- mainloop() - keeps the window running

Examples:

1. Basic window:

from tkinter import *

window = Tk()

window.title("My First GUI")

window.mainloop()

2. Adding a Label and Button:

from tkinter import *

def say_hello():

print("Hello from GUI!")

window = Tk()

Label(window, text="Welcome!").pack()

Button(window, text="Click Me", command=say_hello).pack()


window.mainloop()

3. Entry Example:

from tkinter import *

def show_name():

name = entry.get()

print("Hello, " + name)

window = Tk()

entry = Entry(window)

entry.pack()

Button(window, text="Greet", command=show_name).pack()

window.mainloop()

Session 3: GUI with Functions (Part 2)

Objective: Make the GUI interactive using functions and input data

Topics Covered:

- Getting input with Entry.get()

- Changing Label text using .config()

- Linking buttons with functions using command=

Examples:

1. GUI with name and age:

from tkinter import *


def display_info():

name = name_entry.get()

age = age_entry.get()

result_label.config(text=f"Name: {name}, Age: {age}")

window = Tk()

name_entry = Entry(window)

age_entry = Entry(window)

name_entry.pack()

age_entry.pack()

Button(window, text="Submit", command=display_info).pack()

result_label = Label(window)

result_label.pack()

window.mainloop()

2. GUI calculator:

from tkinter import *

def add_numbers():

a = int(entry1.get())

b = int(entry2.get())

result_label.config(text=str(a + b))

window = Tk()

entry1 = Entry(window)

entry2 = Entry(window)

entry1.pack()
entry2.pack()

Button(window, text="Add", command=add_numbers).pack()

result_label = Label(window)

result_label.pack()

window.mainloop()

Practice:

- Design your own form

- Take name, age, favorite color and show them in a label

Session 4: Introduction to Databases with TinyDB (Part 1)

Objective: Learn how to save and load data using a simple database

What is a Database?

A database stores data in a structured way so it can be saved, searched, and reused.

Install TinyDB:

pip install tinydb

Basic TinyDB Usage:

from tinydb import TinyDB, Query

db = TinyDB('students.json')

db.insert({'name': 'Ali', 'score': 90})

print(db.all())

Examples:
1. Add student info:

from tinydb import TinyDB

db = TinyDB('data.json')

db.insert({'name': 'Sara', 'grade': 'A'})

2. View all students:

print(db.all())

Practice:

- Create a program that asks for name and score and saves them

- Print the whole database to verify

Session 5: Database + GUI Integration (Part 2)

Objective: Build a complete app that combines GUI and database

Topics Covered:

- Search data using Query()

- Connect GUI input fields to TinyDB

- Display stored data inside the GUI

- Clear input fields after saving

Example:

from tkinter import *

from tinydb import TinyDB

db = TinyDB('students.json')
def save_data():

name = name_entry.get()

grade = grade_entry.get()

db.insert({'name': name, 'grade': grade})

result_label.config(text="Saved!")

name_entry.delete(0, END)

grade_entry.delete(0, END)

def show_data():

records = db.all()

output = ""

for record in records:

output += f"{record['name']} - {record['grade']}\n"

result_label.config(text=output)

window = Tk()

name_entry = Entry(window)

grade_entry = Entry(window)

name_entry.pack()

grade_entry.pack()

Button(window, text="Save", command=save_data).pack()

Button(window, text="Show All", command=show_data).pack()

result_label = Label(window)

result_label.pack()

window.mainloop()
Final Project:

- Build a student info system:

- Input: name, age, grade

- Save to TinyDB

- View all saved students in the GUI
