Description
In this course, you will:
- Learn about Python and why it's an excellent introductory language for high school students.
- Set up your coding environment and write your first Python program.
- Explore the fundamentals of Python programming, such as variables, data types, and input/output procedures.
- Python can conduct mathematical operations and modify strings; it's not simply a science instrument; it's also a language arts tool!
