CODE IN PYTHON

Juniors, Teens Beginner & Teens Advanced

Widely used by programmers, designers and game developers, Python has rapidly become one of the most popular programming languages on the market. This coding course is available in three levels so that kids and teens – with or without any previous experience – can develop their knowledge and skills at their pace.

CODE IN PYTHON (Juniors): designed for kids aged 10 and above, this course serves as an introduction to the fun and rewarding world of computer programming, teaching students the essentials of the Python language.

CODE IN PYTHON (Teens Beginner): this course is designed for teens aged 13 and above with no experience in game development or programming. Students get familiar with the fun and rewarding world of computer programming and learn the fundamentals of the Python language. This course is a great opportunity for IB students to prepare for AP Computer Science, and for anyone preparing for university.

CODE IN PYTHON (Teens Advanced): this course is designed for teens aged 13 and above with previous experience in game development or programming who want to further develop their knowledge and skills in Python. This course is a great opportunity for IB students to prepare for AP Computer Science, and for anyone preparing for university.

Whether you are interested in computer science, engineering, life sciences or even business or the arts, Python is a great way to prepare for university education. Why? Because, as Bocconi University’s rector Gianmario Verona put it, “Python grants citizenship in the data-driven economy!”.

This course is available at every camp, unless stated otherwise.

Herman Galioulline

Hermann is completing his MSc in Neural Systems and Computation at ETHZ. He has a keen interest in how the brain performs computation, and how we can translate insights about neural systems into usable technologies. He previously completed a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology with Grade 8/10 (Cum Laude) and was selected as a representative for the Netherlands in the Huawei “Seeds for the Future” program, giving him the opportunity to visit their offices in Shenzhen and Beijing. Herman confided that teaching is the job he has enjoyed the most, and has been an instructor at TechSpark Academy since our opening in Zürich in October 2017.
