Python Code Camp (3 Days) For Kids Aged 12-18

Learning to code is all the rage nowadays. Even if you are not preparing for a career in the IT world, learning to program has the following benefits:

• It fosters problem-solving skills
• It promotes critical thinking
• It prepares you for the future!

While it is never too late to start learning programming, the ideal age is to start as early as possible. And it is the exact motivation for this course.

This course is targeted at kids from the age of 12 to 18, who want to get started in programming. With so many programming languages available, what is the best language to get started? The answer is: Python. Python is a high-level programming language that is widely in use. Python code is readable, and its syntax ensures programmers write code that is well-indented and clear. Python is supported on most platforms and is well suited for a wide variety of tasks – ranging from automating your daily platform tasks, to running as a standalone Web Server.

What’s more, Python will be the language taught in the new O-level Computing subject (Secondary 3 level), starting in 2017.

In this course, kids will learn about the Python language, and how it can be used to solve problems. More importantly, kids will learn how to use Python in the real-world, such as how to fetch weather information continuously from a Web service and display it in a chart.
