Hack The Python: Programming in Python for Students aged 12–17

For Students Hack The Python, under the auspices of the Lifelong Learning Center (KEDIVIM) of the Athens University of Economics and Business, offers much more than programming knowledge. At Hack The Python you won’t just see lines of code on a screen -you’ll build games, solve puzzles, and create your own projects using Python, one of the most popular programming languages in the world! You’ll work alongside students and graduates of the Athens University of Economics and Business, who will guide you and share the tricks they use in their own studies. With them, you’ll discover how programmers think: how they break down problems into smaller pieces and find creative solutions. And the best part? You’ll experience university life up close: sit in lecture halls, see what it’s like to learn in a big academic environment, and get a first taste of your own future. By the end, you won’t just know Python -you’ll have developed skills that will help you in all your school subjects and in any path you choose later in life.
