What is Problem Solving with Python?

Problem Solving with Python is a module where students learn Computational Thinking strategies, problem solving techniques, and fundamental coding concepts using the Python programming language. Students are challenged to solve interesting and relevant problems with what they have learnt. Coding beginners will gain a fresh perspective on how code, algorithms and software run many areas in the world today. All students in this module will create their own code solutions and applications that include chatbots, games, data analysis programs, and many others.

What do students gain?

Understanding and applying Computational Thinking strategies:

Decomposition/composition
Pattern recognition
Abstraction
Algorithms
Logic
Input/output

Understanding and applying Python coding skillset:

Functions
Data types
Data structures
Conditionals
Loops
Modules

Understanding Code, Algorithms and Software

Understanding the possibilities of different application types and how they are created
Understanding the software development cycle
Understanding the interconnection between data, application and
interface
Understanding APIs and references

Minimum Requirements

12 - 18 year-olds who love logic quizzes and puzzles, with zero or minimal prior experience to Python.
Comfortable operating the computer, browsing the web and saving files.

Laptops

All participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops. This is so that students are able to practice and complete optional coding challenges at home. Recommended laptop specification: Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Mac OS X or Linux, with at least 4 GB RAM.

If you do not have a personal laptop, LCCL Coding Academy provides laptops for use at the school. Please indicate your laptop needs during registration.
