-Basic objects: integers, floats, strings, Booleans, lists, and dictionaries
-Basic functions
-Writing loops and conditionals
-Writing functions
-Loading and working with files

This bootcamp will include a mix of lecture and self-guided tutorials. Live lectures will happen every morning from 10 am – noon Central time, though recordings will be available to view only for the duration of the workshop. Participants must also find additional time each day to complete required self-guided tutorials.

Prerequisites: If this is your first time learning a programming language, we highly recommend you also take the Programming Concepts workshop before you begin the bootcamp.
