What is Python? |
Steve Jobs had this to say about learning how to code:
“I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer, should learn a computer language, because it teaches you how to think.
Python is considered a powerful and easy-to-learn computer programming language, which makes it a perfect fit for kids who start learning to code.
Just celebrated its 30th birthday in 2020, Python has been applied in many companies and many parts of our lives, even the apps of Instagram, Youtube and Dropbox are built with Python.
Why should I let my kids to learn Python? |
1. Easy to Understand
Python is a language with simple and human friendly syntax, not as Java or C which contains extra syntax and more complicated rules to follow. A simple program which contains 20 lines of code in C / Java, will probably need only 5 lines of code using Python.
2. Popular/ Widely Used
The application or usage of Python is really wide, it is especially popularly used among Startups and FinTech industries, and areas of Web Development, Data Science and Machine Learning.
3. Learn the Essential Skill-sets of 21st Century
According to a 2020 report of the World Economic Forum, critical thinking, creativity, digital and technological literacy, communication, and cooperation are the most important skills that workers need to be equipped with for future demands. With Python learning, the first 3 of the mentioned skills can be directly trained, and often, while working on group programming projects, communication and team coordination skills can also be learnt.
4. Plenty of Resources Online
Python libraries are powerful and easy to use, for young learners, there are also plenty of fun libraries for them to explore. The “turtle” library is one of the great examples, which is like a drawing board for kids, which is really user friendly for beginners to experience drawing and plot with a few lines of codes. There are also plenty of fun game programming libraries of Python, as “PursuedPyBear” which children can learn to develop their own games in easy ways.
5. Growing Demand in the Job Market
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics is forecasting a job growth rate of 22% for developers between 2019 and 2029, compared with 4% for other occupations. The rate is expected to be higher after 2029, and it is also foreseen that the technical skills requirement of non-developers job will be rapidly increased. Thus, for a better and more secure future, learning programming and starting with Python seems an irresistible trend.

Level Descriptions |
Level 1 : 適合任何未學過電腦程式的小學生
課程主要透過電腦遊戲及課堂活動，以互動有趣的形式，學習基本電腦知識及電腦編程概念，從而提起對電腦編程之興趣，鼓勵學生創意。課程中會以簡單的電腦編程，製作繪圖，通過學生實踐，從中獲得成就感，滿足感，從而愛上電腦編程。
– 以方塊編程引入、再進入以鍵盤輸入指令
– 指令概念 Introduction to commands
– 循環概念 Introduction to iterations
– 函數概念 Introduction to functions
– 模組概念 Introduction to modules
(Level 2 及以上皆全部鍵盤輸入指令)
Level 2 : 適合9歲以上, 或任何已完成Level 1的學生
課程正式進入電腦編程核心，學習簡單電腦編程以應用於生活上之問題及解決實際困難。例如製作卡通片節目表及快餐店自動點餐系統等，以簡單電腦編程，配合日常生活中的例子，令學生明白電腦編程無處不在，從而對電腦編程有更多了解。
– 下載及安裝 Python download and installation
– 事件概念 Introduction to events
– 變數的理解 Introduction to variables
– 流程控制 Introduction to flow controls
– 數學應用 Mathematical applications
Level 3 : 適合任何已完成Level 2的學生
在 Level 2 的基礎上繼續以有趣的方式, 學以致用，應用於日常生活層面。例如用電腦程式設計一個真實的「電子時鐘」及「過三關」(Tic Tac Toe) 遊戲等，及以電腦編程進行數學計算，進深認識電腦編程在日常生活中之應用，發展邏輯思維，提昇解難能力。
– 基本輸入及輸出 Basic input and output
– 流程控制(進階) Intermediate flow controls
– 內建資料型態與操作(導論) Introduction to data structures
