Course Description

Our Python Programming Workshop is a beginner-friendly, hands-on course designed to introduce children aged 8 to 13 to the exciting world of coding and computational thinking. In today’s digital era, programming is quickly becoming an essential skill—and Python, one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, is the perfect place to start.

Throughout this interactive 3-day course, young learners will explore basic programming concepts such as variables, data types, loops, and conditional statements. Rather than just watching tutorials or playing with apps, your child will be writing real code, solving challenges, and building their own programs. Step by step, they’ll be guided through fun, age-appropriate activities that introduce them to the power and logic of Python programming for kids.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have written and tested simple Python programs, while also gaining key skills in critical thinking, creativity, and structured problem-solving. Additionally, they’ll get hands-on exposure to a real coding environment and be encouraged to keep exploring the world of tech beyond the classroom.

Whether your child is curious about how apps and games are made, or just enjoys a challenge, this Python Programming Workshop is the ideal starting point. It not only builds a strong coding foundation, but also nurtures a lasting interest in STEM in a supportive and engaging setting.

What Your Child Will Learn

During this 3-day workshop, your child will:

  • Understand what Python programming is and how it’s used
  • Learn how to set up a coding environment and run programs
  • Master basic programming concepts: variables, data types, loops, and if-else statements
  • Practice using functions, strings, and simple data structures
  • Explore how to import Python libraries and use them in their code
  • Apply their skills to a mini project they’ll design and build on their own

Workshop Format

The Python Programming Workshop is part of Cyberskills’ Kids Tech Camp, a fun and educational coding program for children in Mauritius. Specifically tailored for ages 8 to 13, the workshop runs over 3 days with one-hour sessions per day, making it easy to absorb and enjoyable for young learners.

Each session is instructor-led and filled with interactive exercises, coding demonstrations, and hands-on challenges. Throughout the course, students are supported by certified trainers with experience in teaching kids to code, ensuring that they stay motivated and engaged at every step.

As they progress, participants write their first lines of Python code, test real logic-based solutions, and learn how to break down problems—a valuable skill in both tech and life. Ultimately, your child will walk away with a functional Python program and a foundational understanding of coding for kids that can grow with them into the future.
