The Python Club is a fun and collaborative space where young programmers can showcase their Python projects, work on new ideas, and learn from one another. Students are encouraged to share their creativity, team up on challenges, and explore coding concepts together. It’s a perfect opportunity for students to grow their skills with like minded kids!

Python Club is a place for kids to come together to work on projects with an experienced instructor with a passion for Python coding. Kids bring projects and can ask for help and support as needed from the instructor and other students. Our purpose with this class is for friends to learn collaboratively, and to inspire self-directed learning in children. We find that children learn a lot in this method and make great friends, but families should not expect the structured, sequential progression of a typical class.

Self-Direction
E means highly structured. A is basically unschooled, completely self-guided.

Meet Sophia

I was raised in Florida after immigrating from Venezuela as a small child with my family. I have gone through many adjustments in my education journey as the world transitions to a more online-based learning/teaching structure. I had to learn ways of keeping my brain engaged with digital content despite being a hands-on learner. As I continued through my higher education, I became passionate about teaching as I realized my professors and academic mentors have had the greatest impact on my future goals and my belief in my own ability to meet those goals. I truly believe that a teacher can ‘make or break’ the experience of learning a subject. I have experience tutoring and mentoring incoming undergraduate students in life sciences, mainly biology and cell science but also English, Spanish and writing. My personal hobbies include reading sci-fi and fantasy fiction, exploring outdoors, and growing houseplants and flowers. As an immigrant, I am especially passionate about speaking out against racial prejudice. I also feel strongly about encouraging young students from different backgrounds to pursue their dreams and discouraging limiting beliefs that might stop their pursuit of higher education. I have a B.S. in Microbiology and am in the final semester of completing my M.S. in Bioinformatics. I have personal experience navigating a variety of AP courses, as well as middle, high, and collegiate education.

FAQ: Additional Details about Python Club

In a typical Python coding club, students start by sharing what they’re excited to work on that day—maybe it’s designing a new game, advancing through CodeCombat, or experimenting with a personal project. The club leader checks in with each student, offering guidance, answering questions, and helping them think through challenges.

The atmosphere is supportive and collaborative. Students work independently but also share progress as they go, ask for help from peers, and celebrate each other’s breakthroughs. The goal isn’t to follow a fixed curriculum, but to nurture curiosity, build problem-solving skills, and help each child grow as a creative, confident coder.

This class is a perfect fit for students who already have a basic knowledge of Python and some idea of a project that they might like to work on. Absolute beginners may want to consider taking a few 1-1 lessons with Sophia or a beginner's Python class first.

Kids who get anxious on screens or need a lot of outside encouragement to come up with ideas and work on projects may find this class challenging as it's designed for self-motivated students who are excited to come and work on their projects.

This class is highly personalized. Every student gets to bring their own ideas of projects to work on and the instructor and other students support their individual needs as they work on their projects. Learners have the freedom to turn their screens on and off as they feel most comfortable and take breaks or charge forward as needed. As this class is highly self-directed, the learners play a large role in making it great.

We tailor the class for kids with ADHD by keeping sessions interactive, allowing movement breaks, and encouraging self-directed projects that match each child’s interests. Kids who enjoy open-ended exploration and can stay engaged with gentle guidance tend to thrive, while those who need a highly structured or quiet environment might prefer a more step-by-step course.

We tailor the class for kids on the autism spectrum by providing a predictable structure, clear communication, and space for students to work independently or engage socially at their comfort level. Many autistic kids enjoy the logical, creative nature of coding and thrive with the one-on-one support available in the club. It’s a great fit for those who like focused activities and can manage some group interaction; kids who need a highly controlled or very quiet environment might do better with a more individualized course.

We tailor the class for kids with dyscalculia by focusing on logic and visual problem-solving rather than math-heavy tasks, using accessible tools like CodeCombat that build confidence through story-based coding challenges. The club leader provides extra support and breaks down concepts step by step to ensure every student feels successful.

We support kids with dyslexia by using clear, readable fonts, breaking instructions into small, manageable steps, and encouraging verbal explanations and peer collaboration. The focus is on creative problem-solving, not perfect spelling or syntax, so every student can participate confidently.

This online Python Club can be a good fit for kids with sensory processing disorder. It’s a calm, flexible environment where students can work at their own pace, take breaks when needed, and engage through headphones and screens in the comfort of their own space. The format minimizes overstimulation while still offering social connection and creative exploration.

We work closely with families to understand each child’s unique needs and adjust our approach accordingly—whether that means offering more visual support, flexible pacing, or extra one-on-one check-ins. Our goal is to create an inclusive, supportive space where every child feels empowered to learn and express themselves through coding.

We tailor the class for gifted students by offering open-ended projects, encouraging creative problem-solving, and allowing them to move at their own pace, often beyond grade level. The club leader provides enrichment and challenge without pressure, supporting each student’s unique interests and intellectual curiosity.

While no Python is required, we recommend that students have done a basic tutorial, class or app before starting. Many students are quite advanced in Python. Advanced learners are welcome to join.

In our Python coding club, we treat everyone with kindness and respect. Every question is welcome, and every voice matters. We keep our projects and conversations free from violence or harmful content so everyone feels safe and supported. We kindly request students arrive on time, wear headphones, and sit at eye level with the camera so they can interact with their club leader and peers. Kids are permitted to turn their cameras off, but we find that if they are comfortable keeping them on, it aids in developing friends and supports healthy social interaction.

Families can pause or end their subscription at any time. 24-hour cancellation notice to teacher and Modulo required to receive refund (email refunds@modulo.app) to request refund.

We highly recommend that families put some care into setting up a quality online environment for their children. This means that kids are sitting comfortably, have proper headphones, are sitting at the computer or in front of a tablet at eye level (not staring up their nostrils). This greatly supports learning and social interactions in the group.

ManishaFounder

Sophia is an incredibly gifted STEM teacher with a deep knowledge of Python. Every student she meets loves working with her, which is hardly surprising given her bright energy and passion for teaching. The kids love this class so much that some of our Australians get up at 5am on Monday so they don't miss it!
