Think Python - study group

ABOUT STUDY GROUP
✨ Self-study is encouraged but not required to attend our monthly meetings.✨

📚 If you want to learn how to write code, Python is an excellent first programming language. At the start of 2024, we invited our group members to embark on the journey of mastering the foundational concepts of Computer Science with the textbook Think Python by Allen Downey. Its content is ideal for all beginners, high school and college students as well as self-learners.

⛰️ Each month, we focus on several concepts and exercises to solidify our understanding of CS fundamentals and build problem-solving skills.

🤝 We allow plenty of time for questions and casual conversations to provide a safe and supportive learning environment.

🚀 Don't just copy code – comprehend. Let's start this journey together!
