Event Description

Learn syntax, logic, and how to write your first working program in this workshop while leveraging AI tools to further your learning.

Research & Data Science Programming Tools Series

Join us for a hands-on introduction to Python in a beginner-friendly environment. In this workshop, we’ll guide you through the syntax, or "grammar", of coding so you can understand how programming actually works. By the end, you’ll be able to write your first "Hello World" program, understand coding logic, use AI tools to troubleshoot code, and leave with resources to keep learning at home.

Prerequisites

- Curiosity about coding and Python (no prior experience required). - A laptop with internet access if you’d like to follow along with the live exercises.
