Summer program delves into Python language

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton Adventist Academy is open to teach students and community members commuter programming from ages 10 to adults this summer.

“STEM education is an integral piece of 21st Century Learning Skills,” said Principal Jodie Aakko said in a written statement. “Our school has the resources to provide extra learning in technology during the summer months to our students and to the community, so we are elated to invite participants ages ten through adult to join this class.” e school will o er a Python Coding Camp taught by Dr. Jide Williams, who holds a doctorate in Material Mechanical Engineering from the University of Denver. He also holds a master’s degree in Process Engineering from the University of Lagos, Nigeria, and a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering.

Williams has received several distinct certi cations, including a Six Sigma Black Belt in process im- provement, Python programming, and machine learning certi cations. fers a deep understanding on how to apply logic in solving problems, because the student is exposed to problem-solving by using algorithms developed with Python codes,” said Williams. programming in college or to apply the acquired skillset in a completely di erent eld of study.” e coding camp focuses on computer programming skills. With content presentation and hands-on assignments, it’s designed to teach beginners basic Python programming of data types, variables, loops, control, and function.

Aakko said e class goals encompass a variety of expected outcomes. In this course, the student can think logically and problemsolve in any eld.

“ e student develop pseudocodes, translate pseudocodes to Python codes, automate trivial tasks, solve mathematical problems, perform simple data analysis, and develop innovative algorithms to solve simple-intermediate problems within the given schedule,” Aakko said.

“I want to learn Python because I can use it later in life. I want to learn coding to operate and program robots that I can build. is sounds like a great class to take this summer so I can have more experience in engineering,” said Ericsson Aakko, age 10 enrolled in Python Coding Camp.
