Students will learn Object-Oriented Programming concepts such as creating classes, objects, methods overloading, constructors, polymorphism, and more to develop applications based on Object-Oriented design concepts. This is an excellent course for students planning to take AP Computer Science, developing software in Python, or wanting to develop a career as a Software Engineer.

Pre Requisite:

Introduction to Python or equivalent.

Learning Objectives

Following are the objective of this course:

• Introduce the modern programming concepts and other design methodologies
• Discuss the concepts of good software design and methods.
• Design programs using object-oriented problem-solving techniques.
• Use the concepts of different types of structured programming.

Audience

• This course is good for high school students who are planning to take AP Computer Science or want to develop an application using object-oriented programming concepts.

• Lecture: The Lecture consists of notes that can be used by students as reference material.
• Video: The Video consists of a presentation on the topics covered in the lecture note.
• Hands-on Exercise: The hands-on exercises allow students to apply the concepts learned in each unit.
• Quiz: The quiz allows the student to validate their learning further.
• Projects: Projects help students apply the concepts learned through the lecture and apply to build an application

Technical Requirements

• Access to a computer, an Internet browser, and a headset.
