About the course

This course is designed for students who have completed CodingMind Basic and would like to proceed with industry level of programming, Python. This course contains 4 levels and helps students transfer the knowledge of programming from Scratch to industry level programming language, Python. The course introduces Python basic syntax along with the core programming techniques that are used in the vast majority of programming languages. Each concept or technique will be demonstrated by real code examples using CodeCombat platform. Students will practice their hands-on Python coding skills on the CodeCombat to learn to code through the power of play.

Each class consists of 2 sessions: Lecture and Coding:

• Lecture Session: this session focuses on the Python language knowledge and coding concepts
• Coding Session: this session is for students to practice the knowledge they learned in the lecture session.

The ultimate goal of this course is to build up the interest of computer science and establish a solid fundation of programming using Python and prepare them for the future success on programming and computer science. Our students will be able to apply what they have learned to other related academic fields, such as math and science. They will feel comfortable and ease to learn any other programming language in the future.
