Python programming constructs: sequencing, selection & iteration - remote - Invitation Only CJ423 / E06
Summary
Take your first steps to becoming a competent teacher of Python programming; this CPD will develop your foundational knowledge around the Python language. Learn how to write code to input, process and output data, and how to manipulate data stored in variables. Using the building blocks of sequence, selection and iteration you’ll begin to understand how programs are constructed to perform a multitude of simple and more complex tasks.You’ll gain confidence with lots of hands-on experience under the guidance of highly successful teachers of computer science.Mapped closely to the specifications of GCSE computer science, the course will provide you with essential knowledge leading to expertise in teaching programming.Book now and you will be automatically registered for the scheduled sessions for the course. Remote CPD courses have live, facilitator-led sessions and are not available for instant access. Please refer to the schedule of dates published for each course instance.
Who is it for?
This course is for current or prospective teachers of computer science with some understanding of computer science fundamentals.
Prior knowledge:
You’ll benefit from having some experience of basic programming, perhaps using a block-based language, to access this GCSE-level subject knowledge enhancement.If you are entirely new to computer science, we recommend first participating in our one-day course:
