In this 4-hour workshop, participants will be introduced to the basics of programming in Python. Students will journey from the beginnings of creating variables and performing simple mathematical operations to writing code that can perform fundamental tasks and wrapping this code into functions. Participants will learn how to write the important building blocks that make up complex programs.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Store data in variables and collections.
• Perform basic operations on these data.
• Use control flow and loops to write powerful code.
• Define functions to create repeatable units of behaviour.

Pre-requisites:
Basic computer science knowledge is strongly recommended. Attendees should be comfortable with the following terms: memory, CPU, variable, control flow, loop, list, collection. Some of these concepts will be briefly defined, but prior knowledge is an asset. No prior programming experience is required to attend this workshop (although familiarity with another language may be helpful). To fully participate in the exercises in this workshop, attendees should have a working Python installation and either Jupyter Lab or another IDE that can open Jupyter notebooks, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Alternatively, examples can be run in Google Colab online (requires a Google account). A document will be circulated to help participants install Python and set up the environment.
