Each week your child will work on a project that will teach Python programming integrated with Art, Science, Music or Math. At the end of the three week period your child will have developed a working knowledge of the Python language, made and modified several physical computing projects and will have a powerful little mini-computer of their own to keep. Advanced kids will be able to create their own projects with the accessories.
We will walk them through setup and introductory coding lessons online. Students will spend a minimum of three hours per week working with us on their projects (one hour per day for three days each week). Each additional week, they will receive a new accessory and learn to program it.
Ages
Nine to fourteen years old or older. Please contact us if your child falls out of that range and you would like to discuss this further.
