From machine learning algorithms to the inner workings of websites that we use every day, the Python programming language is used almost everywhere! In this course we will dive into the basics of the language, including variables, lists, dictionaries, conditionals, loops, functions, and much more. Students will use Python to create programs and eventually terminal-based games.
