S112 Python 2


Mastered the foundations in Python 1?

It’s time to take your knowledge and understanding a step further and advance into our Python 2 course!

Delve into the realm of possibilities by combining your Python programming skills with real world applications and Mathematics to come up with mini programmes and solve higher level challenges such as School Database, Word Analyser and Lottery Simulation.

About the Programme

Our award-winning curriculum utilises real world problems and knowledge from Mathematics as a context for students to pick up Python programming skills. Students will thus develop a better understanding of the mathematical concepts and also develop their ability to apply Mathematics and Programming to solve real-world problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is your average class size?

Classes for 13-18 years old age group have a 1:10 teacher to student ratio. We keep our classes small so that every student benefits from maximum personalised attention.

 

2. What do students need to bring to class?

We provide all equipment for the classes. Students just need to bring stationery, water bottle and a jacket in case it gets cold.

 

3. Are there any pre-requisites for the coding classes?

Yes, it differs for each program. Do check the pre-requisites carefully before signing up.

 

4. What if a student has done a coding class previously? Can he or she still attend your coding class?

For classes with pre-requisites, the student may need to complete a placement test as we will need to assess his or her foundation level as the curriculum offered by other avenues may be different. We want to ensure that every student who comes to our class benefits and learn. Hence, it is vital that your child is enrolled in the right course to provide them with the right level of challenge. Please write to us at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg if you have any questions.

 

5. I want to sign up but am unable to confirm the time slot as the school holiday schedule is not out. What should I do?

We understand the challenges you face in planning for your child's holiday schedule. Go ahead and sign up to secure a place and drop us an email at specialprogrammes@thelearninglab.com.sg. We will try our best to accommodate requests to change time slots, subject to availability.
