Course Description
Python 1 – Kids Coding Classes
In this beginner course, Skill Samurai provides foundational computer science training using Python. Covering key coding concepts such as basic conditionals, loops, and print statements, we build a series of progressively more rigorous projects that provide a solid foundation in Python programming.
Skill Samurai's research-based, project based learning (PBL) approach to Python 1 keeps the learning fun and engaging, while ensuring a solid foundation in CS.
Upon completion of Python 1 Core, students will be ready to advance to Python 2 Core.
Python 1 Core Curriculum – Ages 8+
The Python 1 Core course normally takes between 4 and 6 months to complete, depending upon course frequency (1:1 versus 1:1 Accelerated), the student’s prior coding experience, and the student’s consistency in completing homework assignments. Our teachers move at the student’s pace, and spend time ensuring that students have a thorough understanding of key concepts.
