This course aims to teach kids aged 11-14 the fundamentals of programming using Python. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand programming concepts, work with variables, loops, functions, and conditional statements, create simple computer graphics, animations, and games. The teaching method involves video lessons based on a structured syllabus developed by KidsCanCode. The course is designed for kids in grades 5-8, but younger children can also participate with some assistance due to the typing involved.
