Python course is perfect for children that:

Want to try their first text-based programming language
Consider taking an Python course at a university
Want to develop analytical and logical thinking and participate in coding competitions

A student at the end of the Python course:

Understands programming fundamentals: libraries, architecture, algorithms
Develops problem-solving skills
Practices breaking down problems into smaller, manageable parts
Has practical experience with Python language and modules
