Python programming summary for Parents

Computer programs are created to automate repetitive tasks. It include concepts like loops, events and algorithms to simulate simple and complex tasks. Through these coding classes children learn to collaborate with others meaningfully, investigate different problem-solving techniques, persist in the face of difficult tasks, and improve their analytical skills. By the end of this course, students create their very own custom game or story that they can share

Python is a higher level language used to create Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) programs both web and installed  applications and has become very popular because of its ease of getting started and learning. This like Java / C is one of the most popular languages to start programming. 

Python coding if learnt on an on-going basis can focus on advanced logic based games, visual applications, or activities. Algorithms and complex programs can be practised on an on-going basis to increase the analytical and logical capabilities of the child.

Prerequisites for Online / Physical Classes
