Course description

Become 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.

Our Python Coding course for teens will cover the following topics:

  • Outlining the problem and an introduction to the Print Function
  • Building a joke machine
  • Improving the joke machine
  • Building a simple calculator
  • Dealing with numbers
  • Building a password checker and writing branching programs
  • Building a totaliser machine
  • Learning how to loop

  • Building a menu system
  • Mastering flow control
  • Building a chat bot and an affirmation bot
  • Building a programme to track ice cream sales
  • Resolving data structure challenges
  • Resolving programming challenges
  • Object oriented programming
  • Classes
  • Installing Pygame
  • Creating simple 2D video games

Students will be required to complete a specific programming challenge to test the skills they've learnt throughout the course.
