Program Development and Data Visualization with Python (registration now closed)

Not Available Yet

Registration Opens: 1/5/2024

Description:

Python is one of the most versatile programming languages today, used not only by developers, but also data scientists, data engineers, researchers, and business professionals at all levels. Applications include back-end ecommerce and web development, scripting solutions to business problems, and as perhaps the most valuable / heavily relied upon data analytics and visualization language today. Students in this camp will learn Python from two key perspectives. First, we will use Python to explore foundational programming concepts such as structures (iteration, decisions) and structured program techniques versus object-oriented programming (objects, classes, methods) variables, data types, memory management, error detection and debugging, and more. Secondly, we will use Python and its rich libraries of data analytics functionality to conduct basic data analyses, explore Python data visualization tools, discuss Big Data and Python鈥檚 ability to analyze Big Data. Learning Python from these two different perspectives 鈥� program development and data analytics 鈥� is perhaps the best possible exposure to coding schools that a high school student can receive. It develops parallel 鈥渉ow to鈥� (programming) skills and 鈥渉ow to apply鈥� (analytics) skills into one cohesive camp experience. No prior programming experience required 鈥� basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. No prior programming experience required 鈥� basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. iPads/tablets will not work.
