Professional Python
File handling, modules, libraries, and exception handling — built as an attendance system, password manager, and expense tracker.
Course Overview
What your teen will build in Tech Builder
Tech Builder is a six-month course for teens ready to move beyond the basics. It deepens Python into real projects, teaches object-oriented programming through games, moves into AI APIs and automation tools, and finishes with a capstone your teen presents at their own booth on Tech Expo day. Classes run five times a week, one hour each, in small groups of no more than five children.
What Your Teen Will Learn
Real tools, real projects
Object-Oriented Programming
Classes and objects taught through games: Snake, Brick Breaker, Maze Escape, and an inventory system.
Game Development
One game of their choosing — animation, collision, game states, menus, lives, levels, and sound.
Artificial Intelligence
Prompt engineering, responsible AI, AI APIs, chatbots and voice — a homework helper, study buddy, and quiz generator.
Automation & Productivity
A folder organiser, PDF report and invoice generators, an email assistant, and a reminder system.
Data Structures
Organize and work with data the way a real software engineer would.
Tech Expo Presentation
Present a finished capstone project live, at their own booth, to an audience.
Responsible AI Use
Trainers hold every API key; every project is judged on whether the student can explain it, not just run it.
