Level 2: Python and Pygame Syllabus
Python can be easy to pick up whether you’re a first-time programmer or you’re experienced with other languages. Python syntax is easily readable and English-like thus making it the best language to teach to kids.
This one-to-one course is aimed at teaching the kids what syntactical programming looks like. Towards the end of this course, the kids will be able to understand and code in Python.
