Students gain practical Python skills and learn to leverage AI tools for app development, culminating in a personal project for their portfolio.
This two-week, hands-on Python programming course is designed for high school students interested in creating their own applications and exploring tech careers. In the first week, students engage in interactive lessons and mini-projects covering essential Python concepts like variables, loops, functions, and object-oriented programming. They will solve challenges and write their own programs, developing critical problem-solving skills. The second week focuses on applying this knowledge to develop a project of their choice, such as a game, quiz app, interactive story, or data-analysis tool. The curriculum also introduces how AI tools assist human programmers in brainstorming, debugging, and ethical design, emphasizing that strong computer science skills are crucial for designing and improving these technologies. By the end of the program, students will have a basic understanding of Python and a project suitable for showcasing in future internships or college applications.
Every day blends engaging lessons with hands-on coding exercises, providing both technical skills and creative problem-solving experience.
This program is ideal for rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors curious about creating their own apps and exploring careers in technology.
