Workshop Content

  • Basic language and programming concepts
  • Fundamental knowledge as jumping-off point for self guided learning

Preparations

Participants are asked to make sure they have the necessary rights to install software on their computers.

Installing the Required Tools

For the workshops you will need a python installation (make sure it is version 3)

There are several ways to install it.

1. You can use thonny, which is a complete bundle.
2. If you prefer a clean installation without any extras you can refer to these installation instructions.

If you need help, please ask your local IT support first, they know your system and center policies best.
