Python for KS4 GCSE Tuesday 25th October - 9:00am – 16:00
This day will improve upon the previous day and add the use of LOOPS, ARRAYS, DICTIONARIES, data manipulation and working with SQL databases. Attendees will also start to look at applying the skills learnt to the solution of GCSE level problems.
Solution of GCSE tasks using Python Wednesday 26th October - 9:00am – 16:00
The day will focus on the systems analysis of GCSE problems and the subsequent solution of the problems using Python. You will look at current controlled assessment tasks across a number of exam boards and by the end of the day all candidates should have both the skills to analyse and solve future problems and a worked example of a current relevant unit.
