Learning Python Coding
What is Python?
Python is one of the most popular high-level programming languages in the world today. And therefore, Python coding is a vitally necessary skill for the future generation of coders. Python is here to stay, and since it’s never too early to start preparing kids for the future, we need to have them learn Python as well as they can. Kids need to learn Python coding in a way that will make them proficient in core coding concepts. This will help them to pick up and master any other computer language comfortably.
Learning Python coding for beginners is easy as this language has a simple syntax that mimics natural language. For kids who are beginners to coding initially, the best start to their coding journey is to learn basic python.
Python is the key to unlocking great job opportunities for aspiring software professionals. With a solid knowledge base of Python coding, your child can build on this learning, specialize and work at a multitude of jobs in a multitude of industries: Software Engineer, Software Developer, Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Full Stack Developer, Data Scientist,etc. These are just some of the diverse and interesting jobs that involve Python, and learning Python coding will prepare your child for any of these future roles.
What will you learn in the Python Coding course?
PurpleTutor offers the following Python coding courses depending on their age –
- Young Learners Course (YL) – Age Group 9 to 11 Years

In the courses for age groups 9-15 years, students start with a course to learn basic Python using the Python Turtle library. This Python coding for beginners course not only enables the child to learn basic Python but also focuses on developing the problem-solving and algorithm building skills of the child. At this ‘learn basic python’ stage, the child will be encouraged to hone their analytical skills. They will learn how to approach a problem, and how to go about solving it systematically by applying their own creativity. A few core coding concepts will be introduced towards achieving the ultimate goal of learning Python coding in the best possible way.
The essential basic Python coding concepts covered are as follows –
- Understanding the coordinate system
- Drawing lines and shapes
- Understanding loops, conditionals and functions
- Understanding how to create and handle events that are triggered by mouse clicks and key presses.
After the basic Python coding course is completed, the students take up text-based programming. The text-based programming course covers the following advanced programming concepts –
- Understanding in detail the simple data types in Python coding- int, float
- Creation and management of data structures like Strings, Lists, Dictionaries, Sets and Tuples.
- Understanding randomization and learning how to generate and apply random numbers
- Using loops, nested loops, conditionals and functions.
- Creating GUI-Graphical User Interface projects with Tkinter.(For Ages 12-15 years)
