Class Experience

In Python Coding for Kids Level 2, students build on their Python skills to create more complex projects. Through engaging lessons, they’ll use Pygame to design games like Pong and an infinite runner, explore HTTP requests to access real-world data, and dive into data visualization with matplotlib. This course strengthens core programming skills, introducing object-oriented concepts and preparing students for future learning in areas like machine learning. Each project-based lesson reinforces key concepts, leading to a final project where students apply their creativity and skills to build a unique program of their own.

Learning Goals

Students will learn both fundamental programming concepts and Python project examples.
Top students will be invited to participate in the American Computer Science League.
