KEEPIN’ IT SHORT & SNAPPY

• Online Camp
• No experience necessary
• An introduction to basic computer science concepts
• Code like a real programmer with a text-based language!
• Create interesting games that you can play with your friends and family
• English Level: Eiken Level 3 & above or comfortable with using English as the primary language in class

Unraveling the power of binary 

You can pretty much code anything with Python, but let’s start off with the basics by learning about binary code and how it works. Take a stab at figuring out how to convert binary numbers into code and vice-versa.

You’ll also be building simple projects with your code. Like this calculator:

And you’ll be taking your first steps to writing your own code and doin’ some debugging.

With the solid basic programming concepts you’ll learn from Python, you’ll be well-placed to pick up other programming languages in the future. So let your journey to programming awesomeness begin!
