Python is a powerful, popular programming language that gets used for just about everything: basic coding, graphics processing, machine learning, AI, web scraping, data analysis, and much more.

This workshop offers an introduction to basic Python concepts that will help you get coding in no time – no previous programming experience required!

Topics include:

• Writing and running scripts in Python
• Data types
• Variables and Functions
• Calculations in Python
• Control flow
