Python Pro · Year 2 (32 classes)

Going deeper: data analysis with Pandas, Machine Learning, mobile apps, and 3D video games with Panda3D. Projects to show universities and employers.

GitHub portfolio from the first module

Every project gets documented on GitHub. By the end of Python Pro, your teen has a personal digital brand with real projects: mobile apps, ML models, and 3D games — ready for universities, jobs, and internships.

Real prep for an IT career

No simulations. The projects they build are the kind asked in technical interviews. Two years of constant practice in advanced Python, ML, and app development = a real edge in the job market.

How it works

From the free class to a real project

Every step is designed so your teen moves forward with confidence, builds real projects, and develops their IT career at their own pace.

Free trial class (60 min)

Your teen meets the teacher, writes their first lines of Python, and discovers if Python Pro is the right next step. No card, no commitment.

Diagnosis and personal plan

After the class we share which format fits best: 1-on-1 individual or mini-group of 4. If they have prior experience, we place them directly in the right module.

Learn Python with real projects

Your teen moves module by module: object-oriented Python, data analysis with Pandas, Machine Learning, mobile apps, and 3D video games with Panda3D. Every project goes on GitHub. 24/7 access to the Algonova platform.

GitHub portfolio and Algonova certificate

At the end of each module they present a real project. After Python Pro they receive their Algonova certificate and a GitHub portfolio ready to show employers and universities.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What do they learn in Python Pro (ages 14–17)?

In Python Pro (ages 14–17) teens learn professional-level advanced Python. The course covers object-oriented programming, data structures and data analysis with Pandas, plus Machine Learning, desktop apps with PyQt5, mobile apps, and 3D games with Panda3D. It runs for 64 classes over 2 years, taught live online by a real teacher. From the very first module, each student builds a GitHub portfolio that documents their projects. The free trial class helps place the student at the right level before starting.

Do they need prior coding experience?

No, prior coding experience is not required. Python Pro is designed for teens starting from scratch, with progress guided by a real teacher in live online classes. If the student already comes from Python Start or Roblox Studio, the free trial class helps us place them in the right module so they advance faster and build on what they know. This way every teen begins exactly where they should, without repeating content or skipping important foundations.

What's the difference between Python Start and Python Pro?

The main difference is age and technical depth. Python Start (ages 12–13) introduces real Python through video games and builds a basic GitHub portfolio, ideal for laying the foundations. Python Pro (ages 14–17) goes much deeper: Machine Learning, mobile apps, and 3D games, with professional-level projects. Both courses are taught live by a real teacher, with the same teacher assigned for the whole course. The free trial class helps decide which one fits best based on the student's age and experience.

What level of Machine Learning do they learn?

They learn applied Machine Learning basics, focused on solid foundations rather than advanced theory. The course covers classifiers with scikit-learn, intro-level neural networks with TensorFlow/Keras, and data analysis with Pandas. It is not a grad-school level: the goal is for teens to understand the key concepts and apply them in real projects documented in their GitHub portfolio. Classes are live with a real teacher who guides each project step by step and answers questions in the moment.

How are the classes formatted?

Classes are online and live, taught by a real teacher. There are two formats to choose from: 1-on-1 individual sessions of 60 minutes (1 to 3 times per week), or a mini-group of 4 students for 90 minutes (once a week). In both cases the same teacher is assigned for the whole course, giving continuity and close tracking of progress. The free trial class lets you experience the format and place the student at the right level before enrolling.

What do they need to take the classes?

They need a computer or laptop (not a tablet), an internet connection, and about 60 quiet minutes to focus. For Python you need to install Python and Visual Studio Code, but don't worry: the teacher walks you through the setup in the first session. Classes are live with a real teacher, so any technical question gets solved right away. With that basic equipment, the teen can follow the whole course and build their GitHub portfolio without complications.

Can I pause the course if we travel?

Yes, you can pause the course if you travel. We let you pause for up to 3 months without losing your spot or the classes you've already paid for, so you can resume when you return. For 1-on-1 classes you can also cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the lesson, and in every format you get a full refund for any unused classes. This gives you flexibility to fit the course to your family's pace, with no risk of losing what you invested.

What is this course useful for afterward?

The GitHub portfolio built in Python Pro helps with university applications and first jobs or internships in tech. If your child is coming from earlier, the full path starts at Coding 6–9 and 10–13 (Roblox + Python Start), so they arrive well prepared for this level.

Why choose Algonova?

Algonova is an international school with 1M+ graduates across 97 countries and over 10 years of experience, rated 4.9★ by families. Classes are live with real teachers, the same teacher throughout the course, and your child finishes with real projects to show — not just theory.
