We're excited to announce two brand-new workshops led by Professor Stephen Lynch and PhD students that will be launched later this month to cater to learners at different stages of their programming journey.
Workshop 1 - A Simple Introduction to Python: This exciting new workshop teaches students how to program using Python. Suitable for complete novices to programming.
Workshop 2 - Python for Scientific Computing and AI: Students will be introduced to Python and Scientific Computing before moving on to Artificial Intelligence. Suitable for those who have some knowledge of programming.
The online workshops will run in parallel, and itineraries will span over five days (31 March – 4 April), running from 10am-4pm daily, including time for breaks and to apply the theory they have learnt into practice.
Find out more information and register your place now.
The courses are open to all students at 海角社区 University, no matter what discipline you study or which campus you are based at. Please note that those interested in registering for this course must be able to attend all the sessions to take part.
What are the benefits of using Python?
As a student, Python can be helpful across many academic disciplines. For example, you can use it to facilitate data collection and analysis, generate high-quality visualisations for research presentations, and use tools for experiments.
Beyond academia, having a good working knowledge of Python can also open a range of exciting career opportunities in fields such as:
- Data science, analytics and AI
- Scientific computing
- Research
- Cybersecurity
- Web and software development
Professor Lynch commented: “Python programming is a versatile, open-source skill that's in high demand, offering simplicity and the power to tackle real-world problems. In this hands-on interdisciplinary workshop, you'll learn by doing and gain lifetime programming skills, with lots of different resources to support you along the way.”
