This class is taught in English.

Learn the basics of coding and programming using the Python language. Students will learn how to code, create algorithms and solve problems using Python. They will gain a solid understanding of fundamental concepts of the language like data types, variables, functions and modules. Additionally, students will be provided the opportunity for a hands-on experience of coding. Overall, the goal is to give students a strong foundation in programming and the ability to continue learning and growing as a coder. 

I began programming in graduate school where I used Python for data organization and visualization. Today I continue to use it with at my job with the U.S. Geological Survey for the same purposes and for mathematical modeling. 

Homework Offered
Homework that consists of completing code will be assigned weekly. While optional, it will be recommended as it provides feedback on learning comprehension. It's also a good opportunity to ask the teacher any questions they might run into while trying to solve a problem. Homework typically takes less than an hour but that can be varied depending on the students' business or desire for more practice. 
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
The learner's progress is informally assessed with questions. Occasional feedback can be given if parents request.
