WHAT NEXT?
Why not try our Intermediate Python course which teaches pupils:

• Lists (including using them with a loop and using append and pop)
• Trace tables
• Libraries
• Using functions and procedures including passing parameters and using tuples to return values
  .

The intermediate Python unit places a stronger emphasis on problem-solving, incorporating more paired programming and discussions compared to this introductory Python course.
