ABOUT THE COURSE
Prutor, IIT Kanpur is organizing a 3 day-long workshop on Python basics aimed at school children from classes 9 to 12. The course provides a great opportunity to expose children to the world of programming through Python which is one of the most popular high-level programming languages among programmers and IT developers.
It will not be a purely theoretical course since a major portion of the course will be dedicated to encouraging students to solve problems. Any difficulties in solving the exercises will be addressed through real-time interactions with our teaching assistants.
Features of the course:
- The course will be taught in a blended format: through live lectures, pre-recorded videos, and live Q/A sessions.
- Slides and video recordings of the lectures will also be provided.
- Students will be evaluated based on a final quiz.
- Certificates from Prutor@IIT Kanpur will also be awarded at the end of the course.
