Python course allows our RoboCoders to enter the real programming world, master the programming syntax which is commonly applied in the reality, and lay a solid foundation for their future study and career. While students learning practical coding skills happily, they can also achieve all-rounded self-development through Understanding, Attempt, Development and Growth.

Understanding is the first and most important step in learning Python as it is one of the computer languages, learning so is like the way we learn a language. First, we need to thoroughly understand its syntax, and then we can use it properly and flexibly. Simple syntactic details such as the use of parentheses, the placement of semicolons, and the usages of spaces between words are important in Python because errors can cause the entire program to fail. Therefore, students need to fully grasp and understand the unique syntax of Python.

We do not advocate telling the answer directly to the students, because only through attempts can they learn how to solve the problems and converse them into their own knowledge. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the language and syntax of Python through completing simple tasks and challenges in classes. While exploring the functions of the tool library by simple mathematical or textual analysis, teachers will let students try out the tasks individually and encourage them to learn from the failure.

By the time students complete the simple tasks and challenges of Python, students have already been equipped with the foundation of the basic operating language of Python. The course requires students to finish their projects individually, so students need to thoroughly understand the details and requirements of the project in the first place, then according to the goal list out the logical, and finally, they can use Python to implement their own plans and accomplish their own projects through programming. Python is a real-world application, and once students have mastered the basics, they can develop their own work.

In Python courses, we encourage students to undergo frequent project review and self-evaluation. Every time students complete a particular part, students can reflect on their progress by asking themselves, “Is there any logic error in the programming process?”, “Can the finished program be modified into a more concise one?” or “Is there any other way to do achieve the same outcome besides the one already used?”. Through continuous reflection and review, students can understand their own shortcomings, break through their existing limitations, and make the program even more excellent. In this way, the learning progress of students mastering programming skills can be facilitated.

Course Content

Python is the most popular programming language in recent years. Many large organizations use Python to develop apps and therefore, learning Python is the best way to connect with real-world application. In this course, students will start by learning the basic syntax and simple applications, then they will try developing games in Python. And finally, RoboCoders can achieve an even advanced application by building a data analysis system which can be used to link knowledge to real life using different tools in the library through having Python as the platform.

Final Project

Before completion of the course, it is time for each student to consolidate what they have learnt, enhanced with their creativity, and produce a unique project of their own. During the very last lesson, each of them will become a public speaker, presenting and demonstrating their own project in front of the tutor and their classmates.

What will you get after completing the course?

• Clipped video of final project presentation
• Overall learning evaluation report
• Tutor’s comments and recommendations
• Course-completion certificate

Python provides an opportunity for students to connect with the application in reality. After fulfilling the requirement of the 5-level course, we will further arrange advanced courses which best suit the students.
