For students looking for a lightning-fast introduction to coding in Python, we are offering a one-week fundamentals course. This virtual class is designed for students with little to no coding experience and will introduce students to the core principles of programming: data types, data structures, loops, variables, conditionals, functions and basic object orientation. This class culminates with student groups developing their own command line applications. This class runs Monday-Friday from 3:30 PM - 5:30 PM.
