Learning python during lockdown: a surprising bonding experience with my child
summary
Mentoring a teen through Python 101 during lockdown turns into a practical playbook: meet four times a week, sketch problems before coding, write tests to catch hidden cases, use pandas and numpy for data tasks, and rely on Stack Overflow and community help. A concrete bug fix — replacing assignment with numpy copy — resolves a queens puzzle. The outcome is measurable: completed projects like a Sudoku solver, improved confidence, and a final grade of A.
