Python Quick Dive for Teens (Python Level 1)

Event details

• For 12 - 15-year olds.
• 1-on-1 mentoring in small learning group of 1:6 teacher-student ratio.
• Student mentored at individual pace, ensuring no learning gaps.
• One week in-person class, Mon - Fri, 3 hrs per day.
• As each student is mentored at individual pace, the student may need up to 2 weeks of camp to complete Level 1. If the student completes Level 1 mid week, the teacher will start the student on Level 2.

What do students learn?

This programme is part of the LCCL Core Curriculum, and its instructional design is guided by the LCCL Progression Framework. By the end of Python Problem Solving levels 1 and 2, the learner:

1. Is able to code most if not any, solutions to with the Python Standard Library
2. Attained a mastery of fundamental coding concepts
3. Applied computational problem solving strategies

Python Quick Dive for Teens (PY1) introduces the bare essentials of the Python programming language for students to quickly get their hands wet and dirty with code. Learners will use coed graphical results so that abstract concepts are easier to understand.

Lessons are project-based. Each lesson is scaffolded and learning objectives of each project build upon earlier ones.

• Introduction to code and computing technology
• Introduction to how Python and programming languages work
• Python Standard Library common functions

• Conditionals
• Functions
• Loops
• Lists
• Input/output
• Simple object-orientation
• Working with modules

Computational Thinking and Problem Solving

• Algorithms
• Abstraction
