Python Essentials 1
Take your first step into the world of coding—anytime, anywhere.
This asynchronous, self-paced course introduces high school students to the foundational concepts of programming through Python, one of the most popular and beginner-friendly languages in the world. Students will explore basic coding concepts such as variables, data types, loops, and conditionals, while building hands-on projects that reinforce problem-solving and logical thinking. No prior experience is required. Along the way, students will develop computational thinking, gain confidence in writing and debugging code, and prepare for more advanced programming courses. This course is the perfect launchpad for students curious about technology, game design, app development, or careers in computer science.
