unLOOPing 1.0 consisted of 2 seperate programs:

Program A is intended for beginners and it introduces algorithmic programming in the Python programming language. This includes everything from the first steps of loading, calculating, and printing, through branching, functions, small series, and loops, all the way to arrays. There are 16 recorded lectures available and a multitude of exercises for practice. In addition, the course itself provides a theoretical basis and a multitude of examples that provide additional clarification of concepts.
Program B is intended for those who already have prior knowledge. You will easily follow Program B if you have already mastered loops, arrays, and matrices. This program is focused on the conceptual solution of algorithmic tasks from important areas, including: sorting, binary search, dictionaries, incremental calculation, factorization, recursion... Given the focus on the conceptual solution of tasks, you can follow this program in Python or C++. There are 16 recorded lectures using both programming languages, a multitude of exercises for practice have been prepared, in which you can choose which language you will use, and two completely separate courses have been published, one course that covers these topics in Python, and another that covers them in the C++ programming language.

unLOOPing is a free online program that supports learning programming, which the Loop Foundation implements as part of the project “Building the critical computer skills for the future ready workforce ”. This project is carried out by the United Nations Development Program in partnership with the Ministry of Education, with the support of the Government of the Republic of Serbia.

Teachers

Our teachers are young programmers who still vividly remember what the first steps in programming looked like. It is important to them that anyone who wants to, has an open path to unraveling programming dilemmas. We believe you will enjoy listening to them in the lecture recordings!

Attendee testimonials

Thank you for everything!

"When our professor told us about this program, I was considering whether to apply because I wasn’t sure if I could keep up with the pace. Now I can say that this was one of the better decisions in my life. The teachers were very dedicated and always there to help us. I owe a great deal of gratitude to the entire RasPETLjAvanje team for every line of code. RasPETLjAvanje helped me a lot in school because it coincided with us doing almost the same thing as in RasPETLjAvanje. Also, I greatly appreciated that the teachers made us pay attention to mistakes, because, I must boast, I managed to find mistakes in the codes. I sincerely hope that there will be more such activities, because I will definitely join and until then thank you for everything you have provided us with for these four months!"

I'm sad it's over!

"I had a wonderful time attending this program but I am really sad it's over. I would like to see more courses like this from the Loop Foundation. "

Having recorded classes is great!

"It really meant a lot having recordings of all classes and being able to go back and look through them at any moment if I missed a class. "

Commited teachers!

"The teachers are fantastic, they always explained every single detail!"

I learned many useful things!

"I’m glad I signed up for this programn, I learned a lot of useful things. I’m sorry I couldn’t attend every class because I had a lot of competitions during February and March that were held on Saturdays, but I always tried to watch the classes from the previous weekend whenever I had free time. It was very interesting to participate in RasPETLjAvanje and I plan to redo all the tasks during the summer break."

Unique experience!

"I follow classes at school with ease because I regularly watched lectures and did tasks during this program. Sometimes I even held some classes. 😊 I would love to make my own game at some point. Thank you for everything, the experience was really unique."
