SUMMARY:An Introduction to Programming for Absolute Beginners Using Python: Part 1
DESCRIPTION:\n	What: This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the basic 
 concepts of one of the world's most popular programming languages\, Python! 
 This introduction to Python will include concepts such as data types\, 
 variables\, operators\, if statements\, and loops (don’t worry if these 
 terms are unfamiliar\; they will be explained in the workshop).\n	Why: 
 Interested in learning to program but don't know where to start? This 
 workshop will help you establish a foundation to start exploring Python and 
 get rid of any nervousness you might have about learning to code. Learning 
 coding skills will help you automate repetitive tasks\; clean\, analyze\, 
 and visualize large data sets programmatically\; and make you stand out in 
 the job market.\n	Software: Python is free to use. We will be using Jupyter 
 Notebooks (also free to use) for the session\, which is a browser-based 
 programming environment\, so no software setup is required.\n	Who: This 
 workshop is designed for absolute beginners with no previous experience 
 with programming. Skills gained can help participants from any discipline: 
 Humanities\, Social Sciences\, or Sciences. \n	When: Tuesday\, September 
 23\, 10am-12:30pm\n	Where: Electronic classroom on the 4th floor of Robarts 
 Library (room 4033)\n	How: This is a 2.5-hour in-person workshop\, 
 consisting of a series of short explanations and demonstrations\, 
 interspersed with breaks for self-paced activities. One instructor will be 
 demonstrating while the other instructor will be floating around the room 
 providing assistance. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask any 
 questions and practice as we go! There will be one short break in the 
 middle of the workshop.\n\n\n\n\n	Code of Conduct: Map & Data Library (MDL) 
 workshops are a welcoming and inclusive environment for learning. To learn
