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.

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.

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.

Curriculum: Python Start

In just nine modules, your kid will go from coding novice to confident junior developer. They'll master the essentials of Python and the Pygame Zero library, and along the way, build an impressive portfolio of real-world projects: smart chatbots, password managers, and even professional-quality, multi-level games. It's a journey from curiosity to creation, one module at a time.

My son is very satisfied with his classes at Kodland. He has an excellent teacher, and the online lessons work smoothly without any technical issues. I always receive fast and helpful responses from the company whenever I reach out.

I've already learned how to do web design. I've created some really good websites including a pizzeria website.

The classes are actually fun. Last week we had a competition to see who could make the funniest bot. And when you mess up, nobody freaks out about it, they just help you fix it. That's huge for me. And I actually helped my friend with his computer science homework and he got an A! Now everyone thinks I'm some kind of coding wizard, which is pretty cool.

My son struggles with making friends — school's been tough for him. I was nervous about putting him in another group situation, even in an online format. But here something clicked. He was partnered with another kid on a project, and now they're basically inseparable. They FaceTime and text constantly... It's exactly what I'd hoped for!

Noah's problem was he liked everything — coding one day, design the next, then drawing , etc. We didn't want to drop money on a course only for him to lose interest two weeks in. The mentor in the first lesson suggested game development since it combines coding and visuals. Smart call! Noah's been glued to his first game project ever since. He finally found his thing.
