BEGINNER PYTHON 102 (AGE 10-12)
Further Develop your Child’s Structured Thinking Process with Python
This course furthers students understanding of Python (Consistently ranked #1 as the “Most Popular Coding Language“), introducing them to concepts such as Functions, Lists, and Strings. Students will apply programming to model Mathematical simulations. Improving code efficiency will play a huge part in this module.
This powerful pairing of Math and Programming not only allows your child to build a solid foundation in both but also most importantly, to understand how Math is applicable in the Real World.
