Python Workshop

Chaos Created

Code Created’s Python Workshop, led by real-world app and games developers, is great for teaching coding fundamentals through a real-world programming language. We will use Python (a programming language used by companies such as Google and NASA) to get your students hands-on with real code, learning how apps and games are created through some fun, and engaging projects.

During the workshop, we will learn how to use Python’s loops, conditional programming, and more, to build some really cool projects including interactive quizzes, a two-player game, and Python-based micro:bit apps including a working spirit level and more! We’ll also explore the graphical capabilities of Python too, creating some applications and solving real-world problems through programming.

Create applications, quizzes and games
A great way to progress from visual (block) programming into a real-world language
Follow-up support
Led by real-world developers

Which curriculum topics do we cater for?

Computing

Coding Algorythms and data

As well as learning how to code in Python, students will improve their digital literacy through using real-world software including repl.it and Visual Studio Code. They’ll learn about file management, conditional programming, the importance of tabs and indentation, and how computers read instructions. The fundamentals they’ll learn with Python will be applicable to other programming languages they may explore in the future.

What size groups do we cater for?

Due to the level of support required for this workshop, we would recommend group sizes of around 20 for this workshop, but we can accommodate class-sized groups (up to 30) if needed. We can also work with more than one group in a day. Please contact us to discuss.

Access for visitors with disabilities

Yes Please let us know more about your group and we will get back to you with more details about the suitability of what we offer.

Visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)

We run our workshop with students of all abilities and regularly work with SEN students, specialist schools and groups. Please contact us to discuss this.

Anything else?

What makes our workshops unique is that they are delivered by real-world app and games developers. Our games and apps have been featured on BBC Click. We aim to not just teach your pupils skills, but to inspire them to pursue coding further.
