Introduce students to the basics of Python programming with this engaging Pizza Ordering Project! This beginner-friendly coding activity guides students through creating a simple program that collects user input and uses conditional logic to calculate a discount on a pizza order.

Students will practice key programming concepts such as:

• Taking user input from the keyboard
• Working with variables and data types (integers and floats)
• Using print statements to display information
• Writing and understanding pseudocode
• Applying IF/ELSE conditional statements
• Running and testing a Python program
  

The program asks the user for their name, pizza type, pizza size, and pizza price, then determines the correct discount (20% for orders over $20, otherwise 10%) and displays the results.
