Class Package

Students will make projects including a variety of games and applications. These can range from medium to advanced complexity.

Our Proprietary In-Browser Coding Platform.

The KTBYTE team developed the KTCoder™ with our students in mind! Most coding classes require software downloads, which is difficult and a hassle for young students. Our platform supports Processing (Java), Python, C++, KTBlocks, HTML/CSS, and a bunch of libraries (like Soundcipher and Fisica!). This revolutionary all-in-one coding platform supports our interactive online classes, our specialized curriculum, and (most importantly) our student's passion for learning.

KTBYTE will e-mail parents with behavior and grade progess reports.

Students can request a certificate of completion once they finish the course

Class Description:

Python Level 3 is your passport to a deeper understanding of Python. We will start by reviewing the basics – lists, loops, functions, etc. – before moving on to more advanced features. We then go over more advanced functions and function algorithms, classes, and JSONS, which segways us into APIs and programs using free APIs. We finish off with an introduction to data statistics and science with Python, using Pandas’ DataFrames, Numpy, and Matplotlib’s Pyplot.

Prerequisites:

Age 13+, PY02 or Instructor Permisssion
