Week 6

Preparation for Demo Day

In this class, we will use all the practice you have had with the fundamentals of code to create a project for Demo Day. For inspiration of what you can build out, please refer to Intro to Code’s Week 1 Slides. But in the event you need some ideas, we offer two sample projects: (1) Calculator and (2) Tic-Tac-Toe

The agenda for today is:

  • Introduce Demo Day
  • Calculator vs Tic-Tac-Toe
  • Work Session
  • Extended Learning Opportunities

Below are the slides to reference to today’s class:

Introduce Demo Day

Demo Day is a tradition at StreetCode where we come together as a community to showcase all of our learning and growth for the semester. Each class is tasked to give students a final project they should complete by the end the course. And we would love to have each and everyone of you make a project.

You can either design your own project with your mentors if you have any ideas. We also offer two default projects to choose from:

  1. Calculator
  2. Tic-Tac-Toe

Both of these projects are extensive and will get you gears spinning as how you directly apply your knowledge of the fundamentals of code!

Calculator vs Tic-Tac-Toe

Calculator – Using Python, design your own calculator that does addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division of numbers in the correct order. We have some starter code for you to get jumpstarted into this project.

Tic-Tac-Toe – Using Python, create a tic-tac-toe game. Again for this project we have some starter code for you all to refer to!

Work Session

This class was primarily used as a way to work directly with your peers and mentors to help you shape your final projects.

Extended Learning Opportunities

Refer to Week 5 Extended Learning Opportunities. You will have an extensive list of previous Intro to Code exercises to select from!
