This camp will introduce students with no or limited previous programming experience to Python with a focus on tools to solve bioinformatics problems. For the time of the class you will be enrolled as a non-matriculated graduate student at Drexel University. The course is available for all students currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program or are working professionals.

In this course, students will learn:

• How to install coding tools and use them effectively

• Python programming basics including conditionals, loops, functions, libraries, and classes

• Strategies for using Python to answer different bioinformatics questions

• Basic plotting and data analysis with Python

The class is an online class.
