Python Puzzle Club: Weekly Coding Challenges

A weekly club for ages 11 to 15 who enjoy puzzles and know Python basics. Members solve three short coding challenges each week, from warm-up to brain-teaser.

Class Experience

The teacher posts the first challenge and members code on their own for a few minutes. Volunteers then share their solutions, and the group compares different ways of solving the same problem. Challenges get harder through the class. There are no grades and no rankings.

How classes work

The club meets every week for 45 minutes with up to 8 learners. There is no last class: each meeting stands on its own, so learners can join in any week and stay as long as they like.

Example weekly themes

  • String Puzzles – Reverse, count and check words.

  • Number Puzzles – Primes, digits and patterns.

  • List Puzzles – Find, sort and filter.

  • Grid Puzzles – Work with rows and columns.

  • Secret Codes – Build a cipher and crack one.

  • Mixed Challenge Day – Choose your own difficulty.
