Teen Coding Python

Get familiar with Python, one of the most widely used and widely taught programming languages in senior schools, universities and businesses, and learn to code from the ground up. This is a top choice for students studying Computer Science for their GCSEs and want to take their skills to the next level in a fun and supportive environment.

Our code-loving instructors develop students’ programming proficiency by teaching them how to use variables, integers, floats, strings, loops, file I/Os and data structures, as they work on their own challenge-focused projects. Students will leave with confidence to use the Python programming language independently.
