Abstract
In this research paper, we discuss our attempt to teach high school students introductory programming with Python using a custom learning platform that leverages ChatGPT to generate personalized learning materials based on each student’s educational background. The platform features topics and subtopics, each supported by prompts for Explanation, Example, Exercise, and Exercise Solution, with a context-setting prompt tailored to individual students’ backgrounds while respecting their privacy.
