Easy answers to common questions:
What is Python?
- Python is the friendly and easy to pick-up computer language of Instagram, YouTube, and Google’s search engine. Exceptionally popular and widely used, it consistently ranks among the top programming languages globally.
- Python’s popularity is attributed to its simplicity, versatility, and extensive community support.
Why learn Python?
- Whether students are first-time programmers or have experience with other languages, Python provides an excellent pathway to learning how to code.
- Python courses are a great opportunity for IB students to prepare for AP Computer Science.
- Python is also a great way to prepare for university education whether you are interested in computer science, engineering, life sciences or even business or the arts.
- Why? As Bocconi University’s rector Gianmario Verona put it, “Python grants citizenship in the data-driven economy!”.
- Learning Python offers students experience with a foundational programming language widely taught in universities across various faculties, from engineering to economics. Python has extensive applications in diverse industries such as AI, finance, and biology.
- Students learn or review essentials, and then spend some 60% of their time to work on their own project: a playable video game, a program or simple app, allowing them to:
- Acquire the foundations of Computer Science through Python programming.
- Cultivate creativity by designing and building interactive projects & games.
- Strengthen analytical thinking and persistence to find bugs, overcome challenges and find innovative solutions.
- To ensure all students get the most out of their TechSpark experience, we ask ALL students to take a short (5 mins) Computational Evaluation the beginning of their first lessons. This allows our instructors to tailor the course material to the student’s needs.
- If you select a level which does not correspond to your child’s knowledge, don’t worry – we will adapt accordingly!
- TechSpark Academy prides itself in its Swiss quality, with dedicated instructors from top Swiss and European universities, creating a comfortable and adaptive learning environment.
