Each lesson on this interactive course is split into learning a new concept and then applying it. Suitable for those in KS3 but also beneficial to students in KS4 with no prior 3GL programming experience.
This course is designed to introduce the concepts of coding in a fun and interactive way, and each lesson will be split between learning a new concept and trying out that concept with age-appropriate exercises to stretch and challenge. On this course, we will be discovering the art of repeating our programs with two different constructs. This is primarily a Key Stage 3 course; however, it would be beneficial for those new to coding in Python Key Stage 4 with no prior exposure to 3GL programming languages. By the end of this course, students will have developed their understanding of the concepts needed to use Python confidently.
