Overview
We will build a solid foundation in coding by learning Python’s syntax. The course emphasises daily practice and coding sessions, with a wide range of exercises to help you become comfortable with programming.
The main aim is to develop an understanding of code and algorithmic thinking, gain confidence in writing Python, and apply it to problem-solving. At the same time, you will establish a strong basis for other subjects where Python is a prerequisite.
This course is designed for students with or without prior programming experience who want to learn Python.
Learning highlights
- Write computer programmes.
- Use the basic principles of quality software development.
- Read and understand Python code.
- Use programming code to solve problems.

Be able to read and understand technical documentation and other learning materials in English.
Basic maths knowledge (school level)
Methodology
Sessions consist of mini-lessons, workshops, and individual work on assignments. Most of the time is dedicated to programming — first together with the teacher and then individually. Daily homework will be mandatory (oh my!). Most class and home assignments are offered at two levels of difficulty: one for beginners and one for more advanced students.
Grading
Ogabek graduated as an electronics engineer, driven by curiosity and a passion to build something of his own. It turned out that teaching is equally captivating, and IT projects can thrive in the classroom.
Ogabek began his career as a robotics teacher in a small village school before advancing to a state university level.
