Python Academy
Python is a widely used and fast growing programming language which is in high demand for jobs. Many of the STEM Core internships utilize Python programming to solve problems ranging from industrial automation to artificial intelligence. In this 2-week Python Academy, STEM Core students will learn Python in a live, synchronous course from a technology professional and cybersecurity consultant. The course is free to participants and will result in handson Python proficiency and a certificate displayable on sites like LinkedIn. This interactive course will consist of both lecture sessions and supported active programming time to solve fun problems!
