Python Coding 3 is designed for confident coders aged 11 or over, looking to apply their programming knowledge to data science and machine learning.
Students will be introduced to Interactive Python Notebooks, a tool used by professionals to write and present their code.
We will then look at the “Pandas” library, a useful tool that allows us easily to describe and manipulate large amounts of data.
We will then learn how to visualise our data by plotting graphs and spotting trends in the dataset. We’ll cover more useful libraries to add to our Data Science arsenal.
Finally, we will get a brief introduction to machine learning, the process of letting a computer recognise patterns and make predictions. In our case, this means recognising images that we give to it!

Challenges may vary depending on the child’s age/ability as we have multiple streams running within each session.
System Requirements: A computer (PC or Mac).
Age Requirement: 11+
Pre-requisite: Completed Python 1 and Python 2 or a Python holiday camp with Code Kids, or prior significant experience in Python.
Children use the Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Mindstorms EV3 to design robots to solve real world problems. They learn to code their robots in interactive challenges. In addition to the basics of robotics, children learn key engineering principles such as force and motion, gear ratios and aerodynamics.
Make games rather than play them using your own ideas! Become game developers for a day using a physical and virtual platform for creating video games in the classroom. When students build games, they become the writers, artists, designers, and developers of their own interactive stories.
Learn how to code in Java with Minecraft in a highly interactive learning environment!
See your code come alive with Sphero, a powerful robot designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Our challenges help participants grasp coding concepts in the most fun way ever!
This course is designed for late primary to secondary aged students who are looking to learn to code using a proper “grown-up” programming language.
