Overview:  Although it would be near impossible to learn all of Python in only 2-hours, the goal of this workshop is to give students a taste of the wonders of programming by learning the world's most popular programming language. 

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
   > Understand the different types of variables in Python (data types and data structures)
   > Write simple scripts
   > Use control flow to automate your scripts
   > Understand how to load and use libraries
Prerequisites:

• Students must have basic understanding and experience of programming & computer science.
  • For students with no prior knowledge of programming, we recommend watching CrashCourse Computer Science by CrashCourse and Introduction to Programming by freeCodeCamp on Youtube before taking this workshop.
• Install Anaconda on your computer. You can find installation instructions here. Please contact us (cdsi.science@mcgill.ca) if you are having trouble with installation.
• If you attend the workshop in person, you must bring your own laptop.

Location: HYBRID. Online via Zoom, or in-person at Burnside Hall room 1104 (11th floor).
