Who it is for

Is this course right?

Ages 10 and up. A comfortable typist who reads instructions and does not mind error messages can start Python from around 10 or 11, and often earlier after Scratch.

Not sure about the level? Send a message and the teacher will ask a few questions and suggest where to start. For related pages, see Python for kids and teens: what to expect.

How classes run

Before the first class

Each class mixes a quick recap, a new idea taught live, guided practice and a few questions to take away. Join ten minutes early for a sound and camera check, and use a laptop or desktop if the class needs screen sharing. Read what to expect in your first online class.
