S112: Python 2


For Ages 14 - 19

Progress to Python Meets Mathematics 2
Take your Python coding skills to the next level by solving more challenging problems and build more complex items.
Focusing on Data Structures of Python
Data structure is fundamental to all things in the digital world because it stores our information and helps us retrieve them.
Application of Python to solve Real World Problems
Learn to build the model for Monte Carlo simulations to predict the financial stock market or even be an actuarial consultant.
Python Meets Mathematics 2

A shopaholic shopping for new clothes? Create a shopping cart system with Python. A long list of friends to keep in contact with? Create your own Phonebook with Python. Surprise us with what you can build! Combine Python programming skills with real world applications and Mathematics to come up with mini programmes and solve higher level challenges such as School Database, Word Analyser and Lottery Simulation.

The different checkpoints during the course will allow students to track their own progress and complete milestones (achievement unlocked!) of their learning.

Students who wish to attend this course are expected to have a sound fundamental knowledge of Python programming (covered in our Python 1 Course). Using OOP, they will also be challenged to develop a School Database program. Programming concepts taught in this course (OOP, Inheritance) are absolutely critical and put our students in good stead for our S200 electives which cover exciting topics ranging from Data Analytics to Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Using Python OOP, students created a simple database system for keeping records of students and teachers.
I have to be really persistent, and I thank my coding tutor (Mona) for being so encouraging to me. Sometimes when I run my code, an error comes up. So I have to keep fixing and trying, until I finally get it right. Coding tests my patience but coding is still super cool! Lauren, 14 years old, Methodist Girls' School
