About this course
Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. It is distinguished by an understandable and concise coding style, making it great to start learning professional programming with. Python can be applied to any area of our life: from automating everyday tasks to creating gaming products in the entertainment industry.
During the course your kid will master the basic concepts of programming and learn how to create their own console and graphic programs: from their own calculator and notepad to videogames. One of the biggest advantages of the course is that your kid will work with programs that professional programmers use in their daily work.
