Introduction to Computer Science and Programming

Every professional computer scientist or programmer has been in the exact position that you are in now. There are just so many resources, tools, languages, programs, and paths to get started. It gets overwhelming.

This course is a straightforward opportunity for students with no prior experience to dive into the fascinating world of coding and computer science. During this course, we will help you understand and learn the building blocks of programming and gain the skills to turn your ideas into reality.

You will start with the basics of programming concepts such as data types, variables, control structures, and functions using a high-level programming language such as Python. And as you progress, you will work on hands-on projects and exercises that will challenge you to design and implement your own programs and develop problem-solving skills that will be useful in any field you choose to pursue. Imagine creating your own computer game, gaining new programming knowledge, or automating a tedious task with a program you wrote yourself.

This course is an excellent starting point for students interested in pursuing a career in computer science or for anyone looking to gain a basic understanding of programming while learning and having fun.

Students will learn:

• To understand fundamental concepts of computer science and programming.
• To gain practical skills in using a programming language such as Python.
• To gain confidence in experimenting with code and debugging.
• The ability to work with others on coding projects and solve problems as a team.

Outcomes of the workshop:

• Ability to design and implement simple programs.
• Ability to apply programming concepts to real-world problems.
• Understand the impact of computer science on society and the opportunities it creates.
• Develop a small program in an area you are interested in.
