Start at Lesson 1 and train forward in short, clear micro‑presentations. Python is high‑leverage: you can build real tools quickly — and that’s how you stay valuable.

1. Begin Lesson 1: Enter the Dojo: Why Python Wins in the Age of AI
2. Train the slides (one idea per screen)
3. (Paid members) Do the drill quiz and record your score
4. Keep going daily — belt by belt

Goal: become a tool‑builder who can automate tasks, work with data, and connect to real systems — not just a “user” of other people’s tools.

Python is one of the highest‑leverage skills your teen can learn. It powers automation, data work, web services, and much of modern AI.

In an AI-driven job market, your teen wins by becoming a tool builder, not just a tool user. Judo is the perfect metaphor: efficiency and leverage over brute force.

Parent benefit: Python creates fast, visible progress — and paid membership adds measurable proof: quizzes, belt tests, and tracked improvement over time.

AI will crush “average work.” Your move is to become the person who can build tools and automation — the person who uses AI, not the person replaced by it.

• Short missions (micro‑presentations — no long boring lectures)
• Belts that prove you’re leveling up
• Retakes allowed (best score counts — improve without fear)
• Real power: scripts, automation, APIs, data files, debugging, defensive coding

Challenge: reach Yellow Belt (core control) and show your score to a parent. If you like the dojo, send it to a friend who wants to win too.

• Core Python: variables, types, strings, numbers, conditionals, loops
• Functions (inputs/outputs, scope, docstrings)
• Data structures: lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries
• Debugging and reading error messages calmly
• Modules, packages, pip, and basic project structure
• Exceptions and defensive coding
• Files, paths, CSV, and JSON
• APIs and HTTP basics (requests, JSON responses, errors)
• Keeping secrets safe (API keys + environment variables)
• Optional tracks: OOP, scraping/automation, Pandas/NumPy, Flask

• White Belt — Lessons 1–3: First Balance
• Yellow Belt — Lessons 4–8: Core Control
• Orange Belt — Lessons 9–12: Technique Library
• Green Belt — Lessons 13–16: Calm Under Pressure
• Blue Belt — Lessons 17–18: Real‑World Leverage
• Brown Belt — Lessons 19–23: Network Leverage
• Black Belt — Lessons 24–28: Builder Foundations

Belts are proof of progress. Parents get visibility. Teens get momentum.

How belts are earned

1. Training Drills (Lesson Quizzes / Checkpoints) — short quizzes after lessons
2. Belt Test (Rank Exam) — a larger exam covering the belt section

Eligibility

You must complete the drills for the lessons in that belt section to unlock the belt test.

Integrity (important)

• This is You vs AI: no AI tools or outside help during belt tests.
• Training drills are for learning; belt tests are for proof.
• Parents are encouraged to be present or nearby during belt tests.

Disclaimer: Belts and certificates recognize course progress and assessment performance. They do not guarantee a job outcome.
