About Activity

This is the fifth installment of a 10-lesson unit plan for beginner programming with the Python computer programming language.

Learners will revisit a selection of functions and data types, combining them to create a program that simulates a conversation. The computer will ask questions and users can enter their own answers to receive responses. Learners will practise defining variables, applying functions and using data types effectively to create a basic interactive program.
