Come and learn how to Code with Python, create games and build programs, through the power of code!

Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language, which means it can be used to build just about anything. Python is great for backend web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and scientific computing. Many developers have also used Python to build productivity tools, games, and desktop apps.

The core philosophy of the language is:

Beautiful is better than ugly
Explicit is better than implicit
Simple is better than complex
Complex is better than complicated
Readability counts

Requirements

A basic understanding of how Python coding works

What do your kids learn?

Introduction to the Python Programming Language
Basic programming concepts such as variables, data types, iteration, flow of control, input/output, and functions
Get creative and put on your Design Thinking Hat to create simple interactive projects
Get real to create fun, interactive games and programs with the rich features of Python

How do Kidscode impart their knowledge to your child?

Guide your child through step-by-step exercises for their first project
Get them to rebuild this first project or do a slight variation of it
Leave children to build a simple brand new project from scratch
Get them to work on this new project without any guidance
Repeat the process to instill confidence and familiarity

This recursive training method helps to instill the basics of coding, the sense of adventure and the confidence to explore new ways to code even after the course has been completed!

Some examples of how Python can be used and applied.
