Overview
This course introduces students to the foundations of programming using Python. Students learn how computers store and process information, how humans communicate instructions to machines, and how programming languages are used to solve problems. The course develops practical skills in working with variables, conditionals, loops, functions, strings, data structures, basic algorithms, and introductory computational thinking.
By the end of the course, students will be able to write, run, debug, and clearly explain beginner-level Python programs independently.
Learning highlights
- Explain what programming is and how computers represent information using binary.
- Describe the relationship between hardware, software, operating systems, and programming languages.
- Set up and use a beginner Python environment with VS Code, GitHub, and the command line.
- Write Python programs using variables, expressions, conditions, loops, functions, and core data structures.
- Use strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, stacks, and queues to solve simple problems.
- Apply basic searching and sorting techniques and explain when they are useful.
- Understand introductory time complexity and compare simple algorithms at a beginner level.
- Complete practical programming tasks with readable structure, clear logic, and basic debugging habits.

Prerequisites
There are no special requirements for attending this course. Previous experience using computers is an advantage, but it is not required. The course is designed for students who are new to programming or who want to strengthen their fundamentals.
Methodology
The course combines short theory sessions with live demonstrations and structured in-class practice. Each concept is introduced through examples, followed by guided exercises and independent problem solving. Practice quizzes and homework reinforce learning, while class discussions help students explain their reasoning, compare approaches, and build confidence in reading and writing code.
