# 🐍Introduction to Python (BGE)

Pupils will build on their prior learning from block-based programming (e.g. Scratch) and begin writing real code to:

* Take input from a user
* Process data
* Display output
* Make decisions
* Repeat actions

### 🎥 Video Tutorials

### 📦 **Variables**

A **variable** is used to store information in a program.\
This allows us to save values (like names or numbers) and use them later.

### 🔁 **Input → Process → Output**

Most programs follow a simple structure:

* **Input** – data entered by the user
* **Process** – the program works with the data
* **Output** – the result is displayed

### 🔀 **Selection (If Statements)**

**Selection** allows a program to make decisions.\
The program can choose what to do based on a condition (e.g. if something is true or false).

### 🎮 **Mini Project**

Now it’s time to bring everything together.

Pupils will create a small program that uses:

* Variables
* Input and output
* Selection
* Loops
