This course is designed to introduce young learners to the world of Python programming, emphasizing hands-on experience and creativity. Students will learn the basics of Python, explore the application of AI concepts in coding, and develop the skills to transform their ideas into fully functioning programs. The course is interactive and hands-on, with a focus on practical projects and challenges.

With this curriculum, students will gain a strong foundation in Python programming, supplemented by an understanding of how AI principles can aid in coding. This approach ensures that learners are well-equipped to develop their programming skills independently, without direct reliance on specific AI tools.

By the end of the class, learners will have gained a solid foundation in Artificial Intelligence and will have the skills to create their own intelligent programs using Python and other tools.

The flexible schedule (Flex Class) allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a convenient time to complete the week's lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson weekly (depending on which day you started).

The videos will contain the information required to give students a good understanding of each topic and each one will include homework for the students to undertake during the week, as part of a project. 

After watching each video and completing the homework assignments, students will be provided with feedback and the specific next steps on how to create a process to manage their finances successfully. 

Time frame for the Week:
Mondays - The teacher will post the information needed for the week. Students can submit questions.
Tuesdays - Wednesday - The teacher can answer any questions pertaining to the topic of the week.  The students will need to complete any homework assignments and answer any questions in the discussion.
Thursday - Students need to have all tasks completed and uploaded in the classroom for teacher feedback and discussion. Students will discuss it among themselves.
Friday - The teacher will provide feedback to the class and individual students.
Saturday - Sunday - The teacher will be available to answer any questions that the students may have for the week or the next week.
