Learn to Program With Python

In this TWO-PART course students will get an introduction to core programming concepts using the Python programming language.

This course is split up into TWO classes, students are expected to attend both:

Part 1: Monday June 16th at 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Part 2: Monday June 23rd at 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM

What will you learn?

This class is for complete beginners. In the first class, you will draw pictures with Python's Turtle module to learn core programming concepts including loops, if-statements, variables, and functions. In the second class, we will use these concepts to build a small text adventure game.

What are the requirements?

• You do not need any programming knowledge at all to take this course.

• You are expected to bring your own laptop and power cord.

• Please try installing Python (https://www.python.org/downloads/) (including IDLE) on your computer ahead of time (we can help solve problems you run into at the beginning of the first day). We will ensure examples in this course work for both Python 2 and Python 3. Note that Python should already be installed if you have a Mac.

Where are we located?

This event is located at the Shopify Lounge (126 York Street). Please enter through the glass door entrance at the back of the building.
