Python Classes for Kids in Portland, Oregon
Real Python programming for students 8–14 in the Portland area — MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico 2, full-year curriculum, year-round enrollment.
Why Learn by Make in Portland?
Portland's technology sector spans hardware startups, semiconductor design firms, and software companies distributed across the metro. For families in the west hills, inner SE, or NE Portland, finding a technically rigorous coding program — one that matches the work their parents actually do — has been a gap. Learn by Make fills it: a curriculum structured like an engineering sequence, not an enrichment activity. Students write Python that runs on ARM hardware, wire circuits on breadboards, and by the end of the year present a functioning autonomous robot at the capstone showcase.
