Your student will learn how to code with Python, one of the world's most popular coding languages. There is no experience necessary for this class and it will be fun for everyone! Students will even build their own mad libs and rock, paper, scissors game, and animation using Python. This is a highly interactive class with students encouraged to interact with other students and the instructor regularly outside scheduled class times. Your student will be amazed at what they can do at the end of this camp and be ready to continue their coding journey.

Build Fun Projects with Python 

Over the last 3 days of class students will complete fun projects with Python. These projects include:

Minutes in Day Mini Project
Class Greeting Mini Project
Mad Libs
Rock, Paper, Scissors
Spiral Animation


These projects allow students to apply what they have learned with Python while building fun projects.

Continue Learning More About Python

Students can continue to learn more about Python in the level II Python camp offered through Outschool.

Interactive Groups Build the Foundation of Code Skills

Every student is encouraged to post questions, sample code, and their projects every step of the way. This gives students the chance to learn from each other and start practicing reading code. The instructor will also be providing feedback and guidance regularly throughout the course. 

The class is a supportive, positive, and fun environment for all students! There is no coding or computer science experience required for this class.
