During three years we contributed to children’s education in IT area. It’s important to embed software development skills from an early age as best it consulting companies are always looking for the experts with analytical thinking. In September has finally started the 4th school year for the young team. Girls and boys from needy families continue learning the basics of software development.

Main competences that have been acquired in 2019/2020 school year

In the first semester the group got acquainted with Python. In fact, it is a powerful programming language that is easy to learn. Children gained knowledge about the basic syntax of Python and its constructs. Programming language uses a simple object-oriented programming approach and has efficient high-level data structures.

One of the subjects of study, that will be definitely useful for future programmers, was IT English. Furthermore, it covered topics such as algorithmization; OOP;  operating systems; interfaces software; common info about VCSs GIT, Javascript; how does Internet work (protocols, principles, standards); QA & Testing; Blockchain & Cryptocurrency; IoT; Artificial Intelligence

The second semester started with a new Unity3D course. Children gained basic knowledge about 3D modeling on the example of Blender 3D. Among main learned topics are to mention introduction to 3D modeling; simple objects and operations; editing mode and its tools; camera settings and lighting; physical properties; modifiers; creation of skeleton for an object; creation and customization of animation; overlay textures. In other words, the young team got acquainted with the basic principles and technology of creating modern three-dimensional computer games. Children started with creation of their own full-fledged games.

Of course, covid-19 quarantine restrictions forced the group to change the educational model and to switch to remote mode at the end of the semester.
