Sample Video Script: Introduction to
Python – Variables and Data Types
INTRO (0:00–0:30)
Visuals: On-screen: logo + title card animation
Audio (Instructor Speaking):
“Hi everyone, and welcome to the Pre-college Programming & AI Essentials course! I’m
[Your Name], and today we’re kicking off our Python journey by learning one of the most
important foundations of any program—variables and data types.”
Cut to face-cam or animated avatar, upbeat background music fades out.
SECTION 1: What Are Variables? (0:30–1:30)
Visuals: Slides + code examples appear side-by-side
Audio:
“A variable is like a container that stores information your program can use. Think of it like
a labeled jar—one jar might hold numbers, another might hold text.”
Code on Screen:
name = "Sam"
age = 17
height_cm = 172.5
Explanation Voiceover:
“Here, we’ve created three variables. One holds a name, one holds an age, and one holds
height in centimeters. Notice how we use = to assign values.”
SECTION 2: Data Types in Python (1:30–3:30)
Visuals: Show a table of data types and examples
Audio:
“Every variable in Python has a data type. Here are the most common ones you’ll use:”
Type | Example | Description
-----------|-------------|-------------
int | 17 | Whole number
float | 172.5 | Decimal number
str | "Sam" | Text (string)
bool | True, False | True/False logic
On-Screen Demo:
print(type(age)) # int
print(type(height_cm)) # float
Audio:
“We can check the type of any variable using the type() function.”
SECTION 3: Quick Challenge (3:30–4:30)
Visuals: On-screen code prompt
Audio:
“Now it’s your turn! Create three variables: one for your favorite color, one for your age, and
one for whether you like pineapple on pizza—yes or no!”
# Try it yourself!
favorite_color = ?
your_age = ?
pineapple_on_pizza = ?
Callout Text: ▶️Pause the video and try it now. Resume when you're ready.
SECTION 4: Recap & Real-world Use (4:30–5:30)
Audio:
“Awesome! You’ve just written your first real Python code using variables and data types.
These are the building blocks for everything—apps, websites, even AI models.”
Visuals: Code → real-world apps montage (games, chatbots, etc.)
OUTRO (5:30–6:00)
Audio:
“In the next lesson, we’ll learn how to make our code think using logic and conditions. Be
sure to complete the short quiz and challenge project linked below!”
