Overview
  • This three-part program explores a range of programming concepts – starting by asking “what is a program?”.

    Over the three courses you’ll not only learn how to create programs – by writing code that gives instructions, ‘makes decisions’ and ‘loops’ – but also to think more like a computer scientist by splitting your programs up into smaller, easier-to-understand parts.

    You’ll use everyday experiences to think about how data is structured and learn how to ‘debug’ your programs when they aren’t working properly.

    Overall, this is a rounded, friendly, and engaging introduction to programming.
