Introduction to Python

Introduction to Python In-Person / Online

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.
