Which Python.Comp / Blockly.Comp stream is right for my students?
Multiple streams for all levels
As well as being suitable for complete beginners, we also provide other streams for more advanced programmers.
Newbies (Blockly)
Newbies is designed for younger students with no prior experience at programming. It teaches Blockly, a drag and drop visual programming language, and is most suited to students in late primary or junior secondary school (10 - 14 year olds).
Beginners (Blockly OR Python)
Beginners is for students with no prior experience at programming. It teaches Blockly OR the Python programming language. This level is most suited to students in junior secondary school (12 - 16 year olds), or older students with no experience who want to start with the basics.
Intermediate (Python)
Intermediate is for students who have previously completed the Beginners stream and for those students who may have some prior programming experience and are capable of starting off with something harder than Beginners. It teaches the Python programming language. This stream is targeted at students in middle secondary school and above (14 - 18 year olds). Advanced maths and science students in years 10 and above may also want to enter at this level.
