Python Programming Class - Alpharetta

This Python Programming Class is designed to introduce the fundamentals of programming using Python, a popular high-level programming language known for its simplicity and readability. Participants will learn the basics of Python syntax, data types, and control flow constructs. They will also be exposed to practical programming exercises and challenges.

The class also introduces students to the concept of top-down design, a method commonly used in software development for designing and organizing systems. This class is suitable for both beginners who have no previous programming experience and those who want to deepen their understanding of Python.

Why STEM Education is Important?

STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science and technology literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators. Innovation leads to new products and processes that sustain the economy. This innovation and science literacy depends on a solid knowledge base in the STEM areas.

National Science Foundation states that in the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.
