Your kid is obsessed with video games
We'll teach your kid to build them from scratch — so screen time becomes time well spent.
Python Start: Classes For Kids & Teens
The perfect starting point for young beginners. This online Python course teaches kids to code by doing – creating real games and apps they can actually play and share.

About Course
An introductory Python course designed for two types of young learners:
• Complete beginners – no experience needed, just curiosity
• Scratch or Roblox explorers ready to take the next step and learn a real text-based programming language
Either way, they'll start building real games and applications from day one.
Over the course of the program, your kid will build at least seven original projects – and if creativity strikes, they're welcome to create even more. The journey begins with individual exploration, where students learn the building blocks of programming: variables, operators, conditions, and eventually more advanced concepts like loops and lists.
Then, in Module 6, something exciting happens: teamwork begins. Students start collaborating, combining their skills to build games with Pygame Zero, a special Python library made just for game creation. It's where coding meets creativity – and where real collaboration begins.
Who This Course Is For
Your kid wants to give coding a shot
In the very first lesson, your kid will write their first lines of code. By the end of the course, they'll have their own game to show for it.
Your kid is already interested in coding
We'll go deeper into their chosen direction — writing clean code, debugging projects, and working the way real developers do.
What your child will learn in this course
From Python programming and console apps to 2D games and building projects with PyGame Zero.
Python Basics
Using variables, data types, and functions to build practical tools from digital business cards to password managers.
Smart Bots
Creating their own functional chatbots by designing complex, non-linear algorithms and mastering conditional logic and loops.
Game Design
Building games from scratch with professional libraries implementing keyboard controls, object physics, and collisions.
Visual Coding
'Drawing with code' using the Turtle module and designing custom avatars while seeing how abstract algorithms work in practice.
Teamwork
Developing a collaborative 'clicker' game and gaining hands-on experience in teamwork and shared project management.
Soft Skills
Going beyond code: cultivating independence and mindfulness by learning to plan, test, and polish their own unique digital products.

Meet your mentor
The session begins with getting to know your kid – what they enjoy, what inspires them, and how they like to learn and explore. Many children feel shy or unsure at first, so we focus on building trust and creating a calm, supportive atmosphere where they feel confident and at ease.
