Students are welcome to bring their own headphones or earphones. Students attending a full-day course should bring a packed lunch. We provide snacks during the day but your child may want to bring their own if they have any serious allergies.
Students are welcome to bring their own laptop devices as long as they have the required software up to date and installed. This is also a fantastic way to support students to continue working on their projects at home. We do however provide laptops or computers for all classes they are required for. If your child would like to take their project home we recommend bringing a usb to store the project files on.
Other specialist equipment is normally provided although we are happy to recommend what equipment is worth investing in for students interested in continuing the adventure outside the classroom.

Course Description
Learn one of the most in-demand coding languages in the world, used in start-ups, enterprise companies, and academic institutions. This is a top choice for students studying Computer Science for their ATARs and want to take their skills to the next level in a fun and supportive environment.
Our code-loving instructors develop your programming proficiency by teaching you how to use variables, integers, floats, strings, loops, file I/O’s and data structures, as you work on your own challenge-focused projects. You will leave with the confidence to use the Python programming language independently.
While this is a beginners’ course, we do find that many teens who have already started to learn to program on their own find our “back to basics” approach very helpful as they fill in any gaps in their fundamentals.
Research Opt-in: This course will be the subject of a research effort into the impact of remote learning for neurodiverse students by Curtin University’s Autism Research Group.
