Coding: Python Beginners (Virtual)

Our Python for Beginners course is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of text-based programming using Python, one of the most popular and versatile programming languages in the world.

Through creative projects and interactive challenges, students will transition from block-based coding (such as Scratch) to real-world, syntax-based programming. Guided by experienced instructors, students will explore foundational coding concepts while building their own games, animations, and visual programs.

Guided by experienced instructors, students will learn to:

• Create and Use Variables: Store and manipulate data with ease.

• Work with Core Data Structures: Understand and use lists, tuples, and dictionaries to organize information.

• Write Functions and Modules: Build clean, reusable code through modular design.

• Use Control Structures: Apply loops and conditionals to create logic-driven programs.

• Draw with Code: Explore computer graphics using Python’s Turtle module.

• Build Interactive Projects: Design games, animations, and simple graphical applications using Tkinter.

Along the way, students will build a strong foundation in object-oriented programming concepts and problem-solving techniques, preparing them for more advanced Python courses.

Whether your child dreams of developing games, designing apps, or diving into data science, this course is the perfect first step into the world of real-world coding.
