Level 1 - Session 2: Variables & Data Types

🔹 Session Agenda:

Level: Noob → Nerd (Level 1, Session 2)
Format: Live coding session with interactive Q&A
Prerequisites: Completed Session 1 (Python Introduction & Environment Setup)

• Optional: Watch the recording/playlist: Python Fundamentals – Level 1 (YouTube playlist)

🎙️ Speaker: Viswanatha Swamy / Swamy's Tech Skills Academy
🕘 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM (30 minutes)

What You'll Learn:

• Understand what variables are and how to name them clearly
• Explore Python's core data types: integers, floats, strings, and booleans
• See how Python automatically figures out types (dynamic typing)
• Use `type()` and `isinstance()` to inspect data types
• Convert between strings, numbers, and booleans safely
• Build a small “personal profile” program using different data types

Hands-on Practice: We’ll write and run three focused practice scripts:

• `src/L1/S2/01_variables.py` – Create and update variables with clear names
• `src/L1/S2/02_data_types.py` – Tour of the four fundamental data types
• `src/L1/S2/03_type_conversion.py` – Convert between types and combine values

Perfect For:

• Learners who attended Session 1 and want to keep the momentum going
• Beginners who want to really understand how Python stores and represents data
• Anyone who wants a solid foundation before moving to operators and conditionals

📢 Join us to give your Python programs “memory” with variables and data types, setting up everything you’ll need for calculators, games, and mini projects in later sessions!
