Why learn Python?

Python is a programming language: a tool for humans to communicate with the computer and with other humans! Python is very practical, and easy to read and understand. It is taught in thousands of schools and universities, and is great for building web apps, video games, manipulating data, and more!

In this workshop, we’ll explore a variety of coding concepts and practices, while experiencing example Python lessons and becoming more familiar with the language. We’ll also cover topics like assessment, lesson planning, and going “unplugged” - in addition to sharing some awesome (free!) resources to help you get started with using Python in the classroom.
