Aug 4 Python Discoverers

Python Discoverers

For ages 10-14.

How can students take their coding game and problem solving skills to the next level? They can learn 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

This is a 9-session program that runs for two weeks. Each session is 1.5 hours long. 

Skill Level

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

Requirements

Students will need:

• Access to a computer with internet access

• An email address
