Description
This one-of-a-kind camp is designed for teenagers who are interested in computer science and want to take their Python coding skills to the next level.
The course has been designed with the Computer Science GCSE curriculum in mind and is taught in two phases:
- Computer Science Theory
- Python Coding Practice
In addition to gaining a solid foundation in Python coding, students also delve into topics like computer networks, cybersecurity principles, databases, and software development methodologies. These concepts give them a broader understanding of how technology works in real-world scenarios.
In this course we will cover key topics from the GCSE syllabus in an interactive and easy-to-understand manner and provide personalised guidance and support every step of the way, ensuring that students leave with a solid foundation in computer science principles.
But it’s not just about coding and problem-solving at this camp. We understand the importance of balance and provide students with an incredible opportunity not only to expand their knowledge in computer science but also engage in fun-filled activities that spark creativity.
