Programming Language Python


Python is one of the most popular programming languages to learn for beginners as it's easy to read and simple in implementation. Developed for beginners, the course will introduce Object-Oriented programming concepts, Recursion Loops, Data Structures and many more computational thinking concepts at a learning level appropriate to students as young as 11. Our aim is to prepare students to take on projects and implement ideas beyond the lesson scope which will equip them with industry-standard knowledge in programming.

Python 1 Basics: Introduction for Absolute Beginners

The first set of Python lessons focused on building a foundation for programming and computational thinking. Special emphasis is placed on understanding the logic of how code works, and on understanding what each of line of code is doing before typing it out. Each session will include a mix of content discussion and programming practice.


No prior knowledge of Python is required for this course.
