Work much with data? Would you like to learn a programming language but can't seem to get through online lectures or having problems seeing how it applies to you? If so, definitely plan on attending this workshop. We will help get you going using Python and understanding how it can apply to your life, whether in school, for business, or just for a fun hobby.

In this two-day hands-on workshop, we will learn Python as an approach to working with data. We will cover how to get setup on your computer, basic programming paradigms, and useful data structures. By the end of the workshop, you will be able to use Python to produce an analysis and have a jet-pack of resources for continued learning.

Topics we’ll cover:

• How Python can help unlock your productivity, regardless of your job or domain

• How to work in a notebook environment

• How to use Python's built-in data structures like lists, sets, dictionaries, pandas Data frames and other tools for collecting and manipulating data

• How to automate a routine spreadsheet analysis

Lastly, we also talk about the many applications for using Python in a variety of fields and use-cases. Once the workshop is over, you will be provided with links to several resources that we wish we had when we started learning, including links to books, articles, blogs, GitHub repositories, and influencers so you can continue learning.

Day 1 (6 PM - 8 PM) - Introduction to Python in a Jupyter notebook environment. Python data types and basic analysis on a dataset

Day 2 (6 PM - 8 PM) - Doing more data analysis with Python's amazing data analysis library pandas.
