Learn to Code with our Python Course for Kids

Python is a popular coding language that has a minimal and easy-to-read style. It’s moving fast up the rankings of the most popular languages! In this popular Python camp, we will teach your child to code, edit and problem-solve in a structured and methodical manner. Once your child has mastered how code is structured, they will learn to implement core programming constructs through fun, practical exercises and projects resulting in their ability to create Python projects with confidence!

IMPORTANT – FREE TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Course software must be installed before the start of the camp. Instructions on how to do this will be in your FunTech Parent Portal and includes free technical support.

If the software is not installed prior to the start of the camp, then your child will miss some of the course and their may be an additional charge to catch up on missed content.

About this camp

Our kids’ python classes begin with a theoretical examination of coding logic using flowcharts and pseudocode a crucial step for a good coder – first understand the problem, outline a solution and then write code. This is followed by an orientation to Python and plenty of hands-on learning covering topics such as datatypes, variables, user inputs, branching, iteration, functions and so much more in the FunTech Python course for kids.

As well as learning python coding your child will also learn how to problem-solve with this fun and interactive summer python camp.
