Python Classes for Kids
Python is a real programming language used by professionals in AI, data science and web development, and it's also one of the easiest text languages to read and learn. Our live 1:1 Python classes take children from their first line of code to programs with windows and buttons, through small games and projects they can show off.

Who it's for
Is Python right for your child?
- Students in Class 5 to 12 (about ages 10 and up)
- Children who have finished Scratch or are comfortable typing
- Students preparing for school Computer Science with Python
Before starting: Comfortable typing and reading. Scratch experience helps but isn't required.
Python is one of the most widely used and in-demand languages, prized for its simple, readable syntax. Students learn conditional statements, looping constructs, classes and objects, then apply their learning to build GUI programs with Tkinter and real-world mini projects — a foundation for later work in Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI.
Computational concepts covered
- Sequence
- Loops
- Events (not covered)
- Conditionals
- Parallelism (not covered)
- Operators
- Data
Concepts from the Creative Computing framework (Harvard Graduate School of Education).
