Python Coding skills for life
Many schools teach block based coding languages like Scratch and stop there. Take your kids to the next level by teaching them real world programming language of Python.
In these modules, kids learn the basics of Python including concepts like Loops, Conditional Statements, Data Types and Type casting.
What our Python program offers
Early exposure to Software
Python is one of the most widely used programming languages. We teach that with the help of projects which is how software companies work. They are getting exposure to the working culture and style of the industry.
Adaptive lesson plans
Transition to a real world programming language is difficult for kids. We make it easy by helping them build engaging games like Hangman. Each project is discussed in class followed by interesting practice at home.
No need for parent intervention
We take care of children right from teaching them how to use the platform to guiding them through practice through assigning homework to monitoring progress. And since all this is online, you don’t have to step out of your home.

Methodology
Student Code Review
A class starts with the review of previous class topics. Students show the code they made for review.
Formal Teaching
The teacher takes the coding project one step further and teaches whatever is need to accomplish this.
In-Class Practice
Students implement the code they have just learnt and the hurdles they face can be solved by teacher.
Homework Project
Students are assigned a parallel homework project which they can finish using the concepts.
Benefits
Boosts Creativity
We not only teach how to code but also prepare students to solve practical problems. We teach them how we can take a real world situation and translate it into coding algorithm and proceed to build code around it. This enables students to think objectively and more creatively.
Vital Career Skill
Learning to code is not just a job for programmers any more. Researchers also learn to code and visualize the data generated by their research. Managers also learn how to automatically gather statistics of their company. Coding is slowly becoming an essential skill for every career.
Learn Soft Skills
Students learn how to have group discussions and collaborate with each other when building code. They also learn how to present their ideas and their code in front of an audience as part of this program. These are all soft skills that are helpful for students in their career.

Why Choose 98thPercentile
Guided Learning
There are many self-guided platforms to learn Coding. In fact, even we use some of the best ones like Code.org. However, it is highly unlikely that a student is motivated for a long time to finish the entire program on his/her own. Our programs are teacher guided so there is a discipline and help if a student is stuck somewhere.
State-of-art Platforms
We use the best resources in the world to teach our students how to code. Platforms like Code.org and Scratch are of international standards which people all over the world use. This helps us give students the best teaching instruction possible with the added benefit of a teacher guiding the whole learning.
Creativity Boosters
All our programs are designed in such a way to challenge the students' creativity. It is a moment of pride for each student to show their homework project in the next class. Every program includes Show & Tell after a significant project where parents are invited and students explain their project and do a demo.
Small Class Size
We accept only up to 4 students in a class. And when a batch begins, it’s all done. No more getting in. This lets us give personal attention to all students and boost their learning speed. We can also make sure no child gets left behind and achieve awesome results.
Friendly Competitions
Our small classes of up to 4 students mean that students compete with their classmates to make their projects look more awesome. This sparks an interest to learn an extra step to get ahead of the class. This is the best motivation for kids to achieve excellence.
Comfort of your Home
The program is executed online so it can be taken from the comfort of your home. You don’t need to ferry your kids to and from the learning center, sit in the lobby for hours and waste your time. Sit back, relax while we work on making your child the next Bill Gates.
World Class Curriculum
We add on to the world class curriculum built by platforms like code.org. These are carefully designed based on the learning capacity of the grade a student belongs to. Our additions make it even better by introducing teacher guidance, additional Capstone projects and public speaking & presentation skills.
Fully Managed Program
Right from day 1, we take care of installing the required tools for the projects to guiding them through the various stages, sitting with the students and troubleshooting any problems they might have, making sure they have mastered a concept before moving on to the next, giving adequate practice, tracking progress. We take care of everything.
Life Skills Included
Along with teaching them how to code, depending on their age and learning capacity, we teach them few more concepts like presentation skills in the form of “show it to your parents”, video recording and editing skills to effectively market their product, learn more about internet and cyber security to keep them safe from online fraud, etc.
