The IEEE RHU Student Branch, in collaboration with the Artificial Intelligence AI Club, in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, organized an Introduction to Python workshop at the RHU computer lab on February 2nd, from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.
The workshop was conducted by RHU Lab Engineer Ms. Amal El-Arid, an expert in the field, who guided a group of 18 participants through various topics, enabling them to acquire fundamental Python programming skills and explore the world of coding and data manipulation.
During the workshop, students were introduced to built-in data types, variables and assignments, expressions, numbers, strings, lists, tuples, sets, control flow structures, loops, functions, modules, and reading from/writing to files.
By the end of the workshop, the students had acquired a comprehensive understanding of Python's built-in data types and fundamental programming concepts such as variables, assignments, expressions, numbers, and strings. They had also gained proficiency in working with lists, tuples, and sets and control flow structures and loops. Additionally, they had developed the ability to create and use functions and modules and read from and write to files in Python.
Ms. Amal El-Arid stated that Python is not just a programming language; it's a gateway to problem-solving and innovation. She expressed her delight to see students embrace these foundational skills, which will undoubtedly open doors in their academic and professional journeys.
