What is Python Turtle?

Python Turtle is a module in the Python programming language that is used for simple graphics and visualization. The Turtle module in Python provides a simple way for users to draw shapes and images using a virtual “turtle” that can be moved and directed to draw on the screen. The turtle can be moved in various directions, have its pen colour and size changed, and can even be made to draw shapes and images. Taking a Python Turtle tutorial is a fun way for students to learn programming. students can learn basic programming concepts like loops and conditionals. They can also express their creativity by creating their own designs and animations. Think of it like playing with a little toy turtle in the sand, except instead of using your hands to move it, you use code!

PurpleTutor offers an interesting course in Python Turtle graphics as an introductory Python programming course. This Python Turtle online course is great for beginners learning to code, as it provides an easy way to visualize and interact with code.

What will you learn in the course?

PurpleTutor offers the following Python Turtle online courses depending on the student’s age – 

1. Age Group 9 to 11 Years – Young Learners Course (YL)
2. Age Group 12 to 15 Years – Early Achievers Course (EA)

In both the above courses, students learn basic Python using the Python Turtle library. 

The concepts explored through our Turtle module course are as follows –

• Understanding the coordinate system
• Using Python Turtle to create shapes and images by moving a virtual turtle on the screen.
• How to control the turtle’s movement, pen color, and size.
• Drawing lines and shapes
• Understanding loops, conditionals and functions
• Understanding how to create and handle events that are triggered by mouse clicks and key presses.
• How to use loops and conditionals to create more complex drawings and animations.
• How to design and create interactive games 
• Basic geometry concepts, such as turning angles and line lengths, which can help students understand the math behind the drawings they create.

How will you benefit by enrolling in our Python Turtle course?

If a student is a beginner to programming, then our Python Turtle course is the perfect start to their coding journey. Enrolling in the Python Turtle course will benefit the student in several ways such as –

• Visual learning: The visual nature of Python Turtle makes it easy for the student to see the results of their code and understand how it works.
• Creativity: Using Python Turtle graphics allows the student to create colorful animations and games, thus fostering their creativity and imagination.
• Problem-solving skills: By creating programs with Python Turtle, a student will learn to think logically and solve problems, which are valuable skills for their future.
• Quicker understanding of standard Python coding – Once the student starts coding in Python with the Turtle module, the transition to Python standard library coding becomes easier and smoother.

Overall, learning Python Turtle with us is a great way for students to start learning programming and develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way.
