0. Lesson Goals
- Recap content and activity from last class
- Understand and practice object-oriented programming concepts
1. Check-In
- What was particularly challenging last class? Are there any remaining questions from last class?
2. Kahoot
Let's do a Kahoot to check our understanding of the concepts covered last class!
3. Exercises (part 1)
In groups, go through the exercises on this tutorial. Try not to look at the solutions until you have finished the problem. Copy the skeleton code into your local development setup (VSCode, PyCharm, or Google Colab) and try to achieve the "expected output" described for each exercise. Make sure everyone in your group has understood and produced the proper output before moving on to the next task in this section :)
