  • Python Intro Workshop 4 Kids (ages 9-11)

    Python Intro Workshop 4 Kids is a computer coding workshop for children aged 9-11 during which they will gain a gentle introduction to Python – a widely used and powerful programming language.

    This course is recommended for younger children who are ready to progress on to text/keyword-based languages after having programmed “block” based languages (such as Scratch). Python is a highly versatile and simple programming language which is used by major companies and organisations such as NASA, Google and Instagram.

    Attendees of all abilities are welcome, from beginners (who have never written a line of code) all the way through to experienced coders.

    Those who have attended this workshop in the past can attend again if they enjoyed it the last time; we tailor the coding challenges to build upon topics covered in previous workshops (please indicate previous attendance/experience in booking notes).

    All attendees will be awarded a certificate in recognition of completing the course.

  • Python Skills 4 DofE (age 13-17)

    This Python Skills 4 DofE course introduces attendees to a powerful, modern programming language that has a gentle learning curve along with lots of useful accompanying documentation. The nature of Python means you can write short programs really quickly, with the platform remaining flexible enough for its use to be limited only by the programmers imagination.

    At the end of the course, you will receive a Spark4Kids certificate and a Skills Assessor report will be submitted to the Duke of Edinburgh towards your eventual skills award.

  • Python Skills Taster 4 DofE (age 13-17)

    The Python Skills Taster 4 DofE session is designed to give DofE Participants, a sneak peek into Spark4Kids’ Python Skills 4 DofE course. The nature of Python allows you to write short programs really quickly when learning the language, whilst remaining flexible enough for its use to be limited only by the programmers imagination as more experience is gained.

    This course has an accompanying free Taster Session for you to explore.

    After you finish the main course, you will receive a Spark4Kids Certificate. An Assessor Report will also be submitted to the Duke of Edinburgh, towards earning your DofE Skills award.

  • Python Taster 4 Kids (age 8-14)

    The Python Taster 4 Kids session is designed to give young learners aged 8-14 a sneak peek into the exciting world of Python programming in one session. Perfect for those who have experience with block-based languages like Scratch and are ready to take the next step into text-based coding, or those who have done text-based coding before but want to move onto intermediate and more advanced topics.

  • Python Workshop 4 Kids (ages 12-16)

    Python Workshop 4 Kids is a computer coding workshop for children aged 12-16 during which they will learn Python syntax by completing a series of game-based challenges, building up their knowledge of Python syntax as they progress.

    Python is a highly versatile and simple programming language which is used by major companies and organisations such as NASA, Google and Instagram.

    Attendees of all abilities are welcome, from beginners (who have never written a line of code) all the way through to experienced coders.
