Beginning Programming in Python

Designed for those with no prior experience, this course introduces the fundamentals of programming through Python, one of today’s most widely used languages.

As AI tools make it easier to generate code, understanding how programs actually work has become even more important.

This course focuses on building that foundation so you can interpret, evaluate, and improve what code does.

Students learn core programming concepts, including variables, control structures, loops, lists, and functions, and how these elements work together to solve problems.

Through a guided project, you will work with real data, processing a CSV file to organize and analyze information.

By the end of the course, you will be able to write clear, functional programs and approach problems with a structured, programmatic mindset—skills that complement and strengthen the effective use of AI-assisted tools.

No programming experience is required.

Students should be comfortable with basic computer use.
