Python Discoverers Sep 27 @ Riverbend United Church

Students take their coding and problem-solving skills to the next level with a “grown-up” language! 

In Python Discoverers, we will guide students through the fundamentals of computers, computing science, logic, and coding. Students will learn the basics of the Python programming language along with Jupyter Notebooks — the same modern tools used by universities and technology companies. 

We will integrate many number-sense concepts from the math curriculum, using technology. 

Students will learn various computer science concepts, such as: 

• Basic data types 
• Basic arithmetic operations and control flows 
• Variables 
• Loops 
• Debugging 

Skill Level 

Students should have experience with block-based coding and are ready to progress with text-based coding with Python.
