Course Objectives
What is the ONE invaluable and high-in-demand skill that will continue to be well sought-after in the coming years?
Do you know that you are living in the best era in our lifetime to seize this opportunity to harness resources and tools available to acquire this invaluable skill?
This high-in-demand, invaluable skill is CODING.
The process of being able to master the skills of coding is extremely fulfilling. As you learn coding, you’ll discover that there are several other non-coding skills that you will pick up along the way, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, team-work, learning to learn, empathy, and resilience.
The current pandemic has accelerated the need to digitalise everything more than ever.
It has also created opportunities for individuals who have coding skills to create solutions that will improve societal issues, create a better future and improve the quality of lives. One of the contributions is in developing applications and intelligent robots to assist in the fight against COVID-19.
There are many programming languages that are complicated to use. If you want to be a programmer to create softwares with ease, Python is the simplest yet powerful for use.
Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world, and its application is limitless! It can be used for these global trends that will define the next decade of our lives:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Machine Learning
- Data Science
- Data Analytics
Big companies such as NASA, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon and YouTube have been using Python for their products and services.
Coding is an important digital life skill in the 21st century. Turn this knowledge and skills learnt to create softwares that help solve societal, community issues; that help improve the quality of lives.
With the mastery of coding skills, you are empowered as a programmer to create, and we’re very excited for your huge potential and possibilities — that YOU can create a better future. That YOU can improve lives – all by creating practical apps that can help solve real-life problems! The opportunities are indeed limitless!
