Introduction to Programming (Python)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Programming & Coding Courses Adelaide

Are you a beginner at coding? Or struggling to build your fundamental knowledge further?

Introduction to Programming – Python – Phase 1

“Introduction to Programming – Python” is a comprehensive course aimed at developing deep-rooted understanding of the fundamentals of programming and coding for beginners and those looking to enhance their programming skills.

The course is designed and structured to promote clear thinking and problem solving, whilst utilising programming tools to translate ideas into well-defined coding routines. Python, a well-recognised and heavily used programming language in the industry, offers a suitable learning platform for young coders that need access to a broad variety of coding resources, without exposing them to unnecessarily complex syntax requirements.

In particular, the course emphasizes on several important and generic programming concepts such as variables, functions, algorithms, simple data structures, objects and object-oriented programming. All lessons are conducted by qualified and experienced professionals within relevant leading Australian industries, thus providing a real life approach to programming and coding.

More broadly, this course will foster and nurture students’ curiosity towards STEM, ensuring the development of deeper engagement and learning.

Introduction to Programming – Python – Phase 2 (Advanced) 

“Introduction to Programming – Python – Advanced” is an ideal course for those students who had already gained an initial exposure to Python programming and looking to challenge themselves further.

The course is designed and structured to align with Australia Digital Technologies curriculum while following a Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach that engages students in rich and authentic learning experiences. We have established strong commitment to innovation and contemporary pedagogies to teach advanced concepts and practices in programming though this course.

Further emphasising the importance in excelling Python; a well-recognised and heavily used programming language in the industry, we have designed several exciting projects for students to undertake in an interactive and hands on manner, such as;

• Graphical User Interface (GUI) development using Python
• Scientific and Graphics Calculator Application development using Python
• Microbit based integrated sensor system development using Python
• Game development using Python

More broadly, this course will enhance the students’ ability and skills set in applications based advanced project development, while exposing to “systems development lifecycle”, which is crucial for future programmers.
