Python Coding Assessment

About this module

In this module, the learner takes on the role of a software intern for the development team at iCARE, an online platform devoted to creating a pluralist community in Canada through the economic and social integration of newcomers.

iCARE’s goal is to help streamline newcomers’ access to services, opportunities, and resources in their local communities through their online platform. As an intern, the learner will support maintenance and development of iCARE’s platform. However, before they are tasked with any coding responsibilities, the learner will be assessed on five core coding concepts, including data types, arithmetic, logic gates, loops, and functions.
