Principles 4 - Weekly Course for Ages 13 - 18
Data Structures II: Dictionaries
Prerequisites: Principles 3
In the real world, many of the problems that we are trying to solve arise and exist within the physical realm. Using computer science and code to solve some of these problems requires the programmer to capture what is happening in the physical world with data that the computer can understand, process and manipulate.
Principles 4 is Code Campers’ deeper journey into data types and structures before they move on to Object-Oriented Programming in Principles 5. In Principles 4, students will add to their arsenal of data structures by learning about dictionaries, as well as apply and extend their concepts learnt about Python lists to solve a variety of problems. Through the manipulation of such data using code, they will learn to appreciate how each of the different data types is used by programmers to model different features of real-world problems, and be exposed to new ideas in programming including machine learning and physical simulations. This will require them to synthesise and rely on all the coding tools, decomposition and abstraction skills in the preceding courses in order to model the real-world.
After this course, students will have learnt to use the two key essential data structures in programming - lists and dictionaries - to fashion more complex, detailed and powerful computer programs. By applying their new knowledge across various contexts, they will develop the skills to discover the commonalities in the structures of problems in different domains and design general solutions to these problems.
Course Schedule
This is an 8-lesson course. Lessons will be conducted every Sunday 23 Jan - 13 Mar, from 10am-12pm at Bukit Timah campus.

School Policies
We can't wait to welcome you on Campus! Before you arrive, here are some of our Campus policies that you need to be aware of.
MINIMUM CLASS SIZE
Please note that we require a minimum of 3 Code Campers to start a class. You will be fully refunded if the class minimum is not fulfilled.
MISSED CLASSES AND MAKE-UP CLASSES
SG Code Campus offers structured and outcome-driven courses to equip our Code Campers with the necessary programming proficiencies to progress through our learning roadmap. Full attendance for each course is important to ensure that students are able to progress smoothly in their learning journey.
For a missed lesson, the student will receive a video link to the lesson missed that will expire in two weeks, as well as any necessary materials used in class. Subject to the availability of the instructor, a 15-min consultation can be arranged after the student has covered the video and attempted any necessary exercises to clarify any student doubts.
CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS
We strive to maintain a low instructor-to-student ratio for our courses to maximise the learning experience. Hence, seats are limited and we greatly value each and every seat that we offer. If you cancel your registration for any of our courses for any reason whatsoever, the following refund policy applies:
- 100% full refund if written notice of any cancellation is received by us at least 14 days before the start date of the course.
- 100% credit refund if written notice of any cancellation is received by us at least 7 days before the start date of the course.
- No refund will be given if written notice of any cancellation is received by us less than 7 days before the start date of the course.
There will not be any refund or credit offered for physical classes that need to move online. We have continuously honed our conduct of online classes, and are confident that our online classes will still deliver a fruitful learning experience for the kids.
Please note that credit refunds are valid for 12 months from the date of issue, and can be applied to any other SG Code Campus course (subject to availability) within the validity period. If a course of a lower value is selected as a replacement, no refund of the difference in course fees will be given.
WHAT TO BRING
We provide all necessary equipment for students in the classroom, including a Macbook and other hardware devices where applicable. Your child should bring a water bottle and a jacket, as it can get cold in some of our classrooms.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY
Please note that photographs and/or videos may be taken during classes or events for educational, training and marketing purposes.
If you do not wish for you or your child to be featured in any educational, training and/or marketing materials, please notify us via email at enquiries@sgcodecampus.com, prior to the start of your child’s course with us.
