Engage your students with this hands-on Python programming lesson that introduces one of the most common standard algorithms — Find Maximum!
This lesson guides students step-by-step through writing code that finds the oldest person and the person who can lift the most weight using arrays and loops.

💡 What’s Included:

• Lesson 1 – Find Max Age
  Students create arrays for names and ages, then use a fixed loop to find and display the name and age of the oldest person in the list.
  
• Lesson 2 – Find Max Weight Lifting
  Students modify their code to find who can lift the largest weight — including handling cases where more than one person lifts the same maximum weight.
  
• Clear step-by-step instructions for:
  • Setting up the Python file
  • Writing and running code
  • Understanding key algorithm concepts (loops, arrays, and comparisons)
  • Reviewing expected output
