1. Go to the repl.it website: repl.it
2. Click “sign in” in the upper right corner
3. You are taken to a “Login” page. At the center of the screen, you will see a link that says “sign up”. Click this link.
4. Create a username and password. Be sure to add your email so you can receive email notifications if needed. If the username is already taken, it will not let you click the “sign up”. Make sure that your password is a strong password. A weak password is something like “password”. A strong password uses numbers and capital and lowercase letters. Some examples: “PaSSw0rd141”. Make sure that you can remember this password so you can log in later.
5. Almost done! When you first make the account, it will say that you haven’t had any coding sessions so far, and there will be a green button that says “start coding now”. Click this button.
6. Next, you will need to select a language. The first language that is recommended in the “Popular” section is Python3. This is the language that we will be coding with.
7. After you select your language, you will see a screen that looks like this:
8. Next, type in this link on your URL bar to join the Code Circle repl.it classroom for this week:
https://repl.it/classroom/invite/CXsDqTS,
The screen should look like this:

The screen should look like this:
9. After logging in with your username and password, you should be on your student dashboard, where it lists all of the classrooms that you are in. Click on the Introduction Classroom. You will have two assignments this week, but don’t worry they are just to make sure you are all set up and ready to continue on with the course. First try out the Tic Tac Toe Program, it is an example program to show you some of the things Python can do. (And what you might be able to do at the end of this course.)
10. Now it’s time for you to make your first program! Open the Hello World assignment and get ready to officially become a programmer! Listen to your instructor's comments, and good luck!
11. After you are done with the program, it is now time to submit it! On the right, there should be a button that says submit. Once you have checked over your work, click on the submit button.
That’s it! You have created your repl.it account and have submitted your first program! Congratulations, you can now call yourself a programmer!
