Python Club at Perth Modern School (Beginner levels – OPEN FOR ALL STUDENTS)

Python Club is designed to introduce fundamental coding concepts and the Python programming language to your child. Students will learn how to write Python code, solve problems using programming, and create basic programs. Students will also learn how to use Python to code and create fun games.

Python is particularly suitable for this age group because it is concise, easy to read and has multiple applications in the real world such as web development, app development and other scientific uses. It is one of the most popular programming languages in the world and is widely used by leading tech companies including Google, Amazon and Facebook.

The Python Club aims to do the following:

Basic programming concepts, such as variables, data types, and control structures
Introduction to Python programming language and its syntax
Basic input/output operations and working with text files
Introduction to functions and modular programming
Introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts in Python
Introduction to graphical user interface (GUI) programming using Pygame
Introduction to game development using Pygame

To master the beginner concepts and techniques, we recommend that students study at the club for one year, or until their text-based coding skills are ready to move on to the next level.
