Python Adventures
Your first real programming language: write, run, read and fix Python
Python · ages 9–14 · 15 hours over 4 weeks · 3 classes a week, 1½ hours each · GH₵450.00
Young coders move from blocks and puzzles to typing real Python. Over four weeks — 3 live classes a week, 1½ hours each, one class per module, each followed by practice, a quiz and an assignment — they print messages, store things in variables, do sums with operators, make decisions with if and else, repeat with loops, build their own functions and keep collections in lists — and learn to read error messages, test their code and fix bugs calmly. Every module has short programs that run right in the browser and check themselves. It ends with Quiz Quest: a quiz game of their own, with a score, answer checking and a replay option.
