Programming In Python

Python is one of the most popular programming language used in the real world for web applications, data analytics, artificial intelligence and many other applications.  Many world famous websites are built on python, including Instagram, Dropbox, Netflix, etc.

This is a fun introduction to text-based programming using the Python language over 4 sessions of 3 hours each.  Sessions 1 and 2 focus on the basics of computer coding and introduction to the Python programming environment. 

Sessions 3 and 4 will cover simple algorithms, functions and some graphic effects.  We will end with building simple but fun games on the last day!

To make the whole learning experience fun, we will have games, quizzes and will end with a cyber-style, Capture-the-Flag (CTF) challenge on the last day! 

The CTF is a live challenge with 8-15 python coding challenges from easy to difficult and encourages the students to reinforce and recap what they have learnt.  There will be a live scoreboard as they crack the challenges and the top 3 winners will get a mini prize!

This class is ideal for secondary school students who want to have an exposure to the real world of coding and creating your own games! 

Upper Primary School kids with good foundations to programming knowledge (eg. Intermediate Scratch) are also welcome.   Certificates of Participation will be awarded to everyone with >75% attendance.
