Summer Camp for Python Beginners Learn Coding Using Games & Animations Ages 9-13

🍉 In each lesson, we will cover a specific Python concept and provide students the opportunity to apply their knowledge by creating a game or animation. This class uses a block interface to help students bridge from Scratch to Python. We have another class where kids learn on Replit. If you think your child doesn't need the bridge from Scratch to Python and your learner is a good typer, please choose our Replit based class instead. 

☀️ Final Projects: At the end of each lesson, students will showcase their learning by creating a game or animation, reinforcing what they’ve learned in each lesson.

✅ Course Highlights:

1. Learn Python syntax, structure, debugging, and procedures using a block based interface.
2. Build a project after each lesson to practice new skills.
3. All lessons are designed to be engaging, hands-on, and fun!

🌟 For students with prior experience:

If you've learned Python before, please note that this course uses the Codesters platform, which will be different from other Python classes you’ve taken. This class uses a block interface to help students bridge from Scratch to Python. The platform is integrated with interactive lessons and tools to support student learning, making this an exciting and dynamic experience.


🏆 Certificate & Exam Prep:

Students who successfully complete all lessons and projects with a satisfactory score will receive a certificate of completion (available upon request).
The course also prepares students for the Knowledge Pillars - Python Coding Apprentice (PCA) exam. More information on the PCA exam can be provided after course completion.


💻 Class Structure:

At the beginning of each lesson, the teacher will provide direct instruction for 10 minutes, students will complete practice activities in class and build a project in the Codesters platform.
The license for Codesters is included in the class fee.

😃 Learner Interaction:
Students will interact by viewing and providing feedback on each other’s projects in the Outschool classroom, sharing ideas and collaborating live as they feel comfortable.
