    Games Design 2D 4 Kids (age 11-17)

    The Games Design 2D 4 Kids course introduces kids to designing and coding 2D video games for computers, mobile devices, and the web.

    Using the Stencyl tool and it’s built-in visual programming language, users drag and drop code from a palette of “code blocks”, snapping them in place and nesting within each other, enabling the creation of advanced logic from basic components.

    This course is recommended for children who have extensive experience with block languages (such as Blockly) or text-based languages (such as Python 4 Kids) and want to branch into creating games for web, mobile and desktop using professional-level tools.

  • Python 4 Juniors (age 8-11)

    Python 4 Juniors (age 8-11)

    The Python 4 Juniors is a gentle introduction to Python – a widely used and powerful computer coding language.

    This course is recommended for younger children aged 8-11 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.

    Python 4 Juniors is recommended for children aged 8-11 who are ready to progress on to text/keyword-based languages after having programmed using “block” based languages (such as Blockly 4 Juniors).

  • Python 4 Kids (age 11-17)

    Python 4 Kids (age 11-17)

    The Python 4 Kids 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.

    The simplicity of Python, does not impede its application as a serious programming language. In industry, Python is used in many famous organisations including NASA, Digg, Yelp, Google, DropBox, and Pinterest to name a few, and countless experienced programmers and security professionals use Python in their day-to-day work.

    This basic introduction to Python will cover the basic language features, including:

    • While loops, Arguments, Variables, If statements
    • Coding Arithmetic, Counters, Advanced While loops
    • Arrays, Object Literals, For loops
    • Function definitions, Drawing, and Modulo

    All of this makes Python an ideal first “proper” programming language for those children progressing past the basics of coding.

    This course is recommended for children aged 11-17 who are ready to progress on to text/keyword-based languages after having programmed “block” based languages (such as Blockly).
