Python Unlocked

On our Python Coder course, your child will learn to code from the ground up — writing, editing, commenting, and debugging using structured, industry standard methods. Every concept is taught from first principles, and your child will write every line of code themselves — no templates, no shortcuts, no copied examples. 

They’ll begin by learning core programming constructs to display messages, collect user input, and perform calculations – ensuring your child learns to code using industry-standard practices from the very start. If they’ve coded before, we’ll identify and correct any bad habits early on. Next, they progress on to coding interactive projects like quizzes, calculators, and number games using variables, inputs, operators, and loops. Then by adding logic, randomness, and repetition they will code more dynamic programs such as Rock Paper Scissors, hot-or-cold games, and reaction-time challenges. With strings and lists, they learn to structure and manage data and apply classic search and sort algorithms and code smart tools like password checkers, score trackers, and precisely formatted outputs. Every skill comes together as they code projects like Hangman, FizzBuzz, data analysers and more.

By the end of the course, your child will have coded a range of programs from the ground up – from interactive games to practical tools and data-handling projects – giving them the skills and confidence to write efficient, well-structured code independently, line by line, and leave with a solid foundation in Python as taught at GCSE, A-Level, and beyond.

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.
