Description
Keeping kids interested in programming takes creativity which is why I created this Hallowe'en* coding project (and they usually got to this part of my course around that time anyway). Planning is such an important part of programming so the first step is to plan the points for a still-life picture. Then, using for loops and graphics functions organized into functions, kids recreate a still-life picture in Python Turtle.
The whole purpose of this coding project is to learn how to break commands into little steps by sequencing them. It also emphasizes code optimization by reinforcing the "KISS" concept. previous packages.
