🚀 Coming in Term 3: A Python Course Like No Other

Not just coding. A mystery. A twist. A mission.

What if your next Python unit wasn’t just about syntax — but about saving (or maybe unleashing) a powerful system?

Launching at the beginning of Term 3, MyComputerBrain: Python Intro is a free, browser-based course that teaches students in Years 7–10 the fundamentals of Python coding through a mysterious, story-driven mission.

And on July 16, we’re revealing it all in a special teacher webinar.

🎮 Story Meets Syntax

In this course, your students don’t start with “Hello World.”

They start by discovering a strange program on the school server — and waking up a dormant system that may or may not have their best interests at heart.

🧩 The activities challenge students to:

Use Python to interact with and repair the system
Apply coding concepts like print(), input(), if, and for-loops through immersive problems
Encode information in a binary matrix
Write code to crack passwords

What begins as a low-key repair job begins to feel like an awakening ...

The final twist? It’s worthy of The Matrix meets Terminator.
