This presentation by former MNT-EC participant Trinity Chung, will start from the fundamentals on how computers work and what programming languages even are. Then you will get step by step instructions on how to use Jupyter notebooks in nanoHUB and start to use Python and become familiar with Python syntax.

This presentation is designed for the absolute beginner. If you have never coded in any language, or never been exposed to the Python language, or just want a refresher- please come! This is a great place to get started with coding. For those with some experience, this workshop will introduce you to coding within the nanoHUB environment
