Class Experience

US Grade 11 - 12
Intermediate Level
This 12 week course will enhance student's understanding of computer programming in python through the completion of two projects. The course intends to be suitable for a first year programming course in an engineering (or STEM) program. This course is great for learners with some prior coding experience such as learners who have taken a single or a few computer science/engineering class in high school (gr9 - 12). The course will equip students with strong foundations required to tackle first year of college while also building a portfolio of projects!

Please see the course syllabus for more information on the topics covered each week.

Each class will include:
* 10 minute recap/homework review
* 30 minute interactive lecture where students will learn the concepts
* 15 minute of working time 

Students are encouraged to add to their projects as homework for extra practice but this is not mandatory. 

The class will include a combination of PowerPoint plus interactive coding using Repl.it (free website) delivered over Zoom. Students are expected to participate throughout the class by asking questions and coding along! Students will be asked questions during class to check their understanding and provide them with an opportunity to practice coding with oversight.

Learning Goals

Students improve their understanding of the fundamentals of python programming preparing them for first year college/university through the completion of two projects.
