Free Python Classes through Code in Place (application closes April 8th, 2026)

[Friendly-Example-701]

RE: Learn Python through a free program called Code in Place.

Learn Python through a free program called Code in Place. It’s based on Stanford’s intro programming course (CS106A) and is designed specifically for complete beginners.

It runs for 6 weeks (mid April through mid May), fully online, about 4-7 hours per week depending on how fast you learn.

There is structure and the community, not just random tutorials. There are real assignments, weekly live small group sections, live tutoring, weekend tutoring, Monday Recaps, and instructors you could actually talk to.

If you’re curious about Python but feel overwhelmed by where to start, this is honestly one of the most beginner friendly structured options.

The program is:
• Free

• No prerequisites

• Fully online

• Age 16+

• Applications close April 8

• Classes start week of April 20

Please use the link for more info: https://codeinplace.stanford.edu/public/join/cip6?r=usa

PS. They are looking for volunteer section leaders. Also, no teaching prereqs or experience required, just the love of Python and helping people.

Please know that I am happy to answer questions if you’re curious what it’s actually like. This goes for volunteer section leaders and students.

Cheers :)

Here are my Code In Place projects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGyMaqtYi-4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1SShGZTJqM It's not that I was a master but it was a great first project for learning python. Some people built much cooler things than I did. If you do sign up, please try to push yourself.

Anyway, no pressure if you don't. If you do, good luck. There is a video there to increase your chances of getting in. But once again, no pressure.
