Stacking Cups

About:

I made this project as a teaching tool while mentoring for a CodeCrew after school program in 2022. The program was aimed towards teaching elementary- and middle-school students basic programming concepts. A part of that program was a variation on the classic "tell me how to make a sandwich" exercise where the students would give the lead instructor directions on how to stack cups into a pyramid. However, since the program was being taught virtually via Zoom that year, it was difficult for the instructor to demonstrate properly with physical cups. To make up for this, I programmed a small tool in Python that would let simulate cup stacking.

 

Technology and Tools Used:

This project was made quickly in Python3 using the Pygame package.
