About this camp
A structured Python curriculum: lessons, exercises and projects across six levels, from first program to Pygame. Every week continues from where your child left off. Nothing repeats.
Is it right for my child?
- Experience
- No experience needed.
- A second week
- Continues from where your child left off. Nothing repeats.
- Has some experience
- Instructors assess your child on Monday and start them at the right level.
Your child will learn to
- Write real Python code from the first morning
- Build programs and games as they learn each topic
- Use variables, conditionals, loops and functions properly
- Work with strings, lists, dictionaries and file handling
By Friday your child will have written working Python programs they can run, change and show you.
The six levels
Real Python, not blocks, not a simplified kids' tool.
- Python basics
- Control flow
- Strings
- Data structures
- Classes and objects
- Advanced and a capstone

Experienced instructors
A passion for code. Real depth in the subject. The patience to bring out the best in your child. After ten years of camps we know there's no replacement for a good teacher, so we hire computer science students from universities across the country and train every one of them before camp starts. When your child learns from someone who loves the subject, they start to love it too.
- Computer science students, hired to teach coding
- Recruited from universities across the country
- Background-checked, every one
- Trained by us before camp, on the curriculum and on the camp day
- Children supervised at all times, including outdoor recess
From parents
★ 5.0 on Google“My 9-year-old son had a great time and learned a lot.”
“I want to write about how much I appreciate Ms Shweta at STEM4kids in teaching my son Benjamin, the Python language. She really knows how to teach a programing language to kids and get their attention through online learning. She is super patience to her student and Ben has progressed so much from starting just a few weeks ago. I am super thrill and happy with his learning result. Prior to this I have enrolled my son Benjamin to Python with many attempts. We have tried a Coding Academy that advertised on YouTube. It was a terrible idea. Ben did not like to learn from that school. The internet connection was always troublesome and my son hated to attend the class every single week. We lost the money and the worst of all Ben could be frustrated and lost his interest in coding altogether. We are thankful of Ms Shweta’s teaching! You are The Great Python Teacher!”
“My 16 year old enjoyed Python camp so much that he asked me to sign him up for subsequent weeks! He said he learned a lot. He's never said that about any camp before.”
