Design with Python (Intermediate)

In-person delivery
Ages 14 to 17 (high school grades)

Co-ed

Virtual Beginner option available (Ages 14 to 17)

Take your Python skills to the next level in this hands-on intermediate program! Designed for students who already have a basic understanding, this experience delves deeper into programming, data science, and AI through interactive, real-world challenges requiring the use of the Engineering Design Process.

Participants explore advanced Python concepts, including data structures, file handling, and key libraries, while working on projects inspired by digital forensics and cybersecurity. They’ll investigate patterns using the ORB computer vision algorithm in a Fingerprint Scanning – Catch the Culprit activity and build a Fake News Detector in Google Colab using pandas, data analysis, and logistic regression.

By applying Python to meaningful and modern problems, students strengthen their coding skills, build confidence with AI and data science tools, and gain insight into fields such as cybersecurity, digital forensics, and responsible AI.

This program features the same content as the Summer 2025 Design with Python - Intermediate Camp.
