Python-for-STEM-Teachers-Workshop

This is the Programming for STEM Teachers Workshop repository. This is intended for people (mainly teachers) who are not familiar with programming at any level. The hope is that through this workshop we are able to enable STEM teachers with basic knowledge on Google Colab and Python such that they can further develop and complement their class with programming in any way.

List of Notebooks

Session #1

  1. Intro to Markdown

All you need is a gmail account (and sometimes maybe not even that!)

Getting Started

If you want to gather more information about what a notebook is then you might be interested in reading about what Jupyter is.

To begin with this workshop it is recommended that you look at the First notebook to learn about the implementations of Markdown, LaTeX and Python inside Google Colab's version of a Jupyter Notebook.

When opening the notebook just click the Open In Colab found on top of the file and you will instantly open the document online.

Recommendation MAKE A COPY BEFORE YOU START EDITING IT

Go to File --> Save a copy in Drive...
