Overview
This course teaches the students to practice the most important components of the Python programming language. It covers some additional topics on Python such as: speeding up Python with low-level tools, working with meta classes, introduction to Algorithms and Data structure and how to work with them using Python as a tool.
Learning highlights
- Learn about techniques on speeding up Python programs and manage code efficiency
- Be familiar with basic data structures such as stacks or queues
- Learn and practice fundamental algorithms such as binary search or sorting algorithms
- Solve various problems on algorithms and data structure using Python

Grading
In 2012 with scientific research in Algebra, Vladimir won 1st place at the National contest in Russia, the Intel-Avangard, and became a finalist of the Intel ISEF.
After school, he enrolled for Bachelors at ITMO University for the programme of Applied Math and Programming. During his Bachelor's, he participated in several educational projects: in 2013 he was a coordinator of the national science fair for school students - BalticSEF; in 2014 he was a teacher in the LCME summer school, teaching two courses on maths. In the last years of his Bachelors, Vladimir entered the centre of additional higher education, Computer Science Center, for the programme of Software Engineering. In the end of summer of 2015, he completed a 3-month internship as a Software Developer.
