Learning to Code: Intermediate Python

Virtual delivery
Ages 12 to 13 (grades 7 to 8)

Co-ed

Beginner option available (virtual)

Campers who have taken a previous introductory Python course will enjoy this project-based camp. This camp was developed to allow campers to expand on their base knowledge in Python programming. As campers dive deeper into various Python types, functions, and libraries, they will be tasked with fun design projects that require them to express their creativity through coding to form a solution. Throughout the camp, campers will gain a deeper perspective on the impact of computer scientists and software engineers on society.

Features:
  • interactive learning approach
  • simplification of complex topics
  • problem solving and design-based thinking
  • hands-on activities and/or experiment
  • connecting topics to society
  • counsellors demonstrate excellence in engineering and science, strong leadership skills, past experience working with youth, and enthusiasm towards education
