Have you been curious about writing code? Have you tried to get started but just couldn't get things to work? Have you heard that python is a great language to learn but not sure where to start? These workshops got you covered.

In these workshops, we will:

• Get you set up for success and continued learning afterwards
• Introduce basic python syntax including variables, data types, functions and for-loops

Demonstrate common operations for cleaning and parsing data
Each workshop will review some basic elements of the python programming language and will deep dive into a particular useful data type or common operation. It will conclude with a real world type exercises and homework to will apply the materials covered in the workshop.

A high emphasis is placed on working with other students to debug and troubleshoot your code. It's the best way to learn!
