Course Description

Python is widely used in the workplace. It has been around for more than 20 years and is currently the most well-known coding language. It is easy to use and is extremely versatile in its functionality. Because of its beginner friendly syntax, a lot of people from different professions use it to automate the simple tasks. It is also frequently used by entrepreneurs to code applications for their business. Python can be used in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, app development, etc. Do you know that most tech giants use Python for their products and services? To name a few are NASA, Google, Nokia, IBM, Youtube, Amazon, Netflix, Mozilla, Quora and the list is endless!

Knowing how to code in python means infinite possibilities for your kid. The average salary for a Python programmer is well over six figures because of the high demand for this skill set.

Python is easy to learn and students require no prior experience to take this course. Since it is one of the easiest real-world languages to learn, it can set them up to explore other, more complicated languages. This course is appropriate for those who have a good understanding of basic algebra. For younger kids, it is recommended that they take the scratch course first to familiarize themselves with programming languages.

In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of the Python programming language, along with best programming practices. They will first learn the basic syntax of the language along with the fundamentals of programming logic, such as loops, arrays and libraries to control the flow of the programs. They will also learn to represent and store data using Python data types. They will be able to harness the power of complex data structures such as lists, sets, dictionaries, and tuples to store collections of related data. They will be able to define and document their own custom functions, write script and handle errors. They will also learn to find and use modules in the Python Standard Library and other third-party libraries. Eventually learners will be able to build simple but functional programs using Python at the end of this course. After completion, they can move on to deeper applications of Python such as data science or even learn about artificial intelligence. They can also leverage their fundamental knowledge of coding to learn other languages such as JavaScript.
