Course Overview

On this course, students will be introduced to Python, the programming language that tech behemoths like Instagram, Pinterest and Spotify are all built on. Led by our code-loving instructors, students will be taught key programming concepts and how to apply them in exciting ways, from using Python to create video games to learning the relationship between software and hardware, discovering the role of Python in the multi-billion-dollar tech industry to learning the skills they need to build their own projects at home. Challenging, interactive and lots of fun, this course does more than just teach the fundamentals. It unlocks the world of programming for young people – and sparks the interest that makes them want to keep on exploring it. And, if they want to keep building their knowledge.

This course aims to start from the very beginning introducing them to concepts such as Sequencing, Selection and Iteration, simple algorithm design and creating modular programs. By the end of the course they will have created programs that are written using functions as well as doing some Object-Oriented Design and using third party libraries such as Pygame and Tkinter to bring graphical elements into their programs. They will finish off by hacking on a project of their own devising using as many of the skills they have learnt as possible.
