Hour of Code: Program Your Own Castle
USI, Lugano, Switzerland
Mon, Dec 4, 2023 — Sat, Dec 10, 2022
We contributed to the 2023 edition of the Hour of Code by submitting an activity for students based on PyTamaro.
The activity targets beginner students and can be completed in one hour. It’s available in English, German and Italian. Additional material for teachers is also made available.
Abstract
Develop a functional approach to programming by learning to call functions and to pass arguments to produce castle parts. Then compose lists of parts into a castle inspired by the three medieval castles of Bellinzona that protected Italy from the Swiss in the Middle Ages.
