Workshop: Introduction to Python
Monday, February 12, 2024 10:00to12:00
Workshop 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:
