Python for AI - A Fun Project-Based Python Introduction for Kids
Are you interested in giving your child a head start in the world of coding? Look no further than Create & Learn's Python for AI class for kids and teens. It provides a thorough introduction to Python essentials and is highly engaging with project-based learning.
Python stands as a high-level coding language favored by industry giants such as Netflix and Google. It finds applications in web development, game design, app creation, machine learning, and much more. Our live online Python class for kids not only covers the fundamentals of Python coding, but also places a strong emphasis on the elements of Python most relevant to Artificial Intelligence, including data structures and libraries. For middle or high schoolers who are keen on exploring advanced computer science and diving into one of the most sought-after programming languages, this small group class is the ideal starting point.
New: We have incorporated ChatGPT throughout our Python curriculum to help students debug, learn new content, and brainstorm ideas by working with ChatGPT, so they can learn better and more effectively. In addition, students who sign up for our Python class also receive 6 months of free access to our Python Skill Builder, an AI-based tool that helps students continue to practice their new skills after class.
There are a lot more to Python than just learning the programming language. Check out our Python for Kids series of classes to learn more.
- Free Intro to Python Coding
In this free Python coding class, students will take their first dive into coding with Python. We will transition from block coding, which they learned in Scratch, to text-based coding. Students will learn how to animate and draw with Python, and will build their own story project to create a cool animation. Like all of our small group classes, this online Python for kids class is led by an experienced teacher. Join us, learn, and have fun!
- Part 1 - Python for AI - 1
In this first part of our Python coding course, we start to learn core concepts of Python syntax, loops, data types, variables, and a lot more. We will build a smooth transition for kids to up-level from block coding such as Scratch, to Python's text-based coding. Students will learn fundamental Python skills as they build creative stories, animations, and games. Basic topics will include using Python syntax, variables, loops, functions, and built-in data structures.
- Part 2 - Python for AI - 2
In part 2 of our Python coding course, students will begin using Python for AI and data science. We will explore more advanced programing elements of Python such as dictionaries and files, and learn how to employ Python’s powerful modules to build games, stories, and real-world data projects.
- Part 3 - Python for AI - 3
Part 3 covers a good amount of advanced Python coding for kids. Students will be introduced to object-oriented programming, and learn how to use Python classes and objects to complete more complex games and applications.
- Part 4 - Python for AI - 4
In this final part of our Python programming course for kids, students will be introduced to more advanced Python concepts, including data structures such as 2D arrays, as well as using new modules and the API for an AI system. Students will also become creators of their own independent Python projects. By the end of the course, they will design and code their own Python program from scratch. To help them prepare, students will practice reading code written by other people and leveraging the Python documentation, to accomplish new things that are not covered by the teacher during class.

Frequently Asked Questions About Python for AI
Can a kid learn Python?
Yes, kids in grade 5 and above can learn Python. In our classes and Python camps, students in grades 5 through 12 learn Python through project-based and inquiry-based methods to make learning fun and memorable. Kids quickly grasp the basics.
Python is also a great next step after mastering basic coding skills through platforms like Scratch and courses such as:
Is Python good for beginners?
Yes, Python is excellent for beginner coders, especially those in upper middle school or high school. It's an approachable, text-based programming language and is widely used in fields such as AI and data science. It’s often the first text-based language learned by many new programmers.
For younger elementary students, we recommend starting with Scratch coding, which is more engaging and easier to grasp.
What is the right age to learn Python?
Kids as young as 11—or sometimes even younger—can start learning Python. However, a child’s interest is the most important factor.
Here’s a guide based on your child’s preferences:
- For creating animations and games: Start with Scratch
- For building games in Minecraft: Try Minecraft coding
- For kids who love tinkering and building: Go with Arduino or VEX Robotics
- For those ready to tackle text-based programming: Python for Kids is a great choice
- Get started with our free Python class
What should my kid do after taking the Python classes? How do they keep practicing?
It’s important to continue building coding and computational thinking skills. Students can practice using our Python Skill Builder, where they can complete new projects with help from an AI coach.
Beyond practicing Python, students are encouraged to explore more advanced topics, such as:
These are valuable and in-demand skills that can also be applied to school projects and science fairs.
Many students also go on to take:
- AP Computer Science Principles
- AP Computer Science A (Java)
Often, students complete these courses and exams as early as 8th or 9th grade.
