This year we played around with Discrete Math, SAGE, Python, Turtle Graphics and Visual Python! Thanx go to Gary Litvin, Kirby Urner, Erik Thompson, Allen Downey, William Stein, David Joyner and Gregor Lindl (in no particular order) for inspiring me!
We finished Turtle Graphics using "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist using Python." We spent the last few weeks on turtle.py and Recursion (Chapter 12). Now, we will start a final project: Intro to VPython!
My Summer Project will include finishing some VPython lessons for next year. Stay tuned...
