Introduction to Programming in Python

This course offers a structured introduction to Python, one of the most in-demand programming languages. Students will start with the fundamentals of Python setup and basic scripting, advancing through key concepts such as data types, control structures, functions, and modules. The curriculum progresses to cover more advanced topics including data structures, file operations, error handling, and an introduction to object-oriented programming. Each session combines theoretical learning with practical, hands-on exercises, enabling students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. The course culminates in a final project, where students will demonstrate their coding skills and creativity. Ideal for young learners with a keen interest in technology, this course aims to build a strong foundation in programming within an engaging and supportive environment.
