This course will teach students how to approach programming projects like a Computer Science major. The course will focus on using the Python programming language to do a series of increasingly sophisticated projects with no specific requirement of pre-knowledge of Python. Students with prior knowledge of Python will be able to take their projects to new heights, while those with no previous knowledge will be able to learn Python syntax and accomplish basic projects. The two week online course culminates with students developing a final project that they can add to their portfolio of experiences.
