[Returning] Python Problem Solving

Event details

• For 12 - 15-year olds.
• 1-on-1 mentoring in small learning group of 1:6 teacher-student ratio.
• Student mentored at individual pace, ensuring no learning gaps.
• One week in-person class, Mon - Fri, 3 hrs per day.
• As each student is mentored at individual pace, the student may need up to 2 weeks of camp to complete Level 1. If the student completes Level 1 mid week, the teacher will start the student on Level 2. Level 2 students will continue with where they stopped at the weekly classes / previous camp.

What do students learn?

This programme is part of the LCCL Core Curriculum, and its instructional design is guided by the LCCL Progression Framework. By the end of Python Problem Solving levels 1 and 2, the learner:

1. Is able to code most if not any, solutions to with the Python Standard Library
2. Attained a mastery of fundamental coding concepts
3. Applied computational problem solving strategies

Python Problem Solving coverage over 2 levels:

• Fundamental coding concepts with Python
• Good code practices and optimisation
• Python Standard Library common functions
• Variables
• Conditionals
• Functions
• Loops
• Lists
• String methods and manipulation
• Input/output
• Dictionary and other collection types
• File input/output
• Simple object-oriented
• Working with modules
• Error and exception handling
• Iteration and recursion
• Object-orientated programming with Python

Computational Thinking and Problem Solving

• Algorithms
• Abstraction
• Pattern recognition
• Decomposition
• Evaluation and debugging
