The Richard Montgomery High School robotic s team\, Rocket Robotics\, is excited to offer a free\, 3-week coding cour se for middle &\; high school students\, designed to introduce beginner s to the fundamentals of programming and spark interest in programming and robotics. This hands-on course will cover the fundamentals of coding usin g one of the most popular programming languages\, Python. Students will re ceive guided instruction over the 6 session course which will help them un derstand key concepts (such as basic Python syntax\, control structures li ke loops and if statements\, working with arrays\, creating reusable metho ds) and get set up to further advance their coding skills.
\nExperie nced high school mentors will guide the participants\, providing personali zed support and encouragement. With each session building on the last\, st udents will not only gain a solid foundation in Python programming that th ey can apply in robotics and other coding projects\, but also the confiden ce to explore further in the world of technology and robotics. Whether you 're new to coding or looking to strengthen your skills\, this course will provide a supportive and engaging environment to get started with Python.< /p>\n
Students are encouraged to come to all 6 sessions but are also wel come to sign up for as many or as few as possible. \;
