Python Junior Programmes

It’s never too early to build foundations.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution approaches, coding skills are more essential than ever in giving your children a competitive advantage. Python is a powerful language, widely used in companies like Google and Amazon Web Services. It is also the best place to start for younger learners who are new to programming because of its relative simplicity.

About the Programme

We understand that learning a new programming language without any knowledge or transitioning from Scratch to Python can be daunting to any child. With fun and engaging topics such as children’s movies, we introduce coding with real-world context to our students. For instance, our students create programs like a BMI calculator and health advisors, with instances that they can find relevance for in real life, making coding concepts easier to digest - and a lot more memorable!
