Intermediate Python (Part 2)

**REGISTRATION CLOSED**

In this 4-hour workshop, participants will learn intermediate programming skills using Python. Attendees will learn how to combine simple pieces of code to perform more complex operations. Students will learn how to use and define functions, import code from built-in modules and install new packages to access even more functionality.

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

• Define and call new functions.
• Import and use code from built-in Python modules.
• Install new packages to access even more tools.

Pre-requisites:
Basic knowledge of Python is required. Attendees should be comfortable defining variables of different types, using control flow to define decision branches in code and using loops to run code multiple times. Attendees should have a working Python installation and an IDE that can open Jupyter notebooks, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code, in order to fully participate in the exercises in this workshop. Alternatively, examples can be run in Google Colab online (requires a Google account). A document explaining how to install Python and set up the environment will be circulated. Access to a command line is also strongly recommended to be able to fully follow the examples.
