This is a six-session hands-on class, meaning the instructor will explain Python programming concepts/codes and guide the students to coding programs using Python. Students will learn how to identify program errors and debug them along the way, which is very important. The course will start from the very beginning on getting familiar with Python and moving on from simple coding to more complex coding.  

After each class, learners will complete a short Python programming activity or exercise to enhance the learning process. The activity or exercise may be completed during class if time permits. Overall, learners will get ample practice in coding Python programs.
