Get a taste for programming!

This activity is designed to give students their first experience programming, and has been specially designed for the Hour of Code.

Students will use Python to build a chatbot called "Eliza". Can she fool their friends into thinking she's a human and not a computer?

Students will:

  • learn to use Python to print data to the screen,
  • learn how to make decisions and take different actions based on those decisions, and
  • use logic and problem solving skills to answer simple questions.
