Learn the basics of Python this Summer (2024)!

June 18 2024 - TBD

In the summer of 2024, the UC Berkeley Physics department will be hosting a free coding class for High School students, but it will be casted live for anybody wishing to learn the basics of coding.

The class is designed to give students the key necessary tools to learn how to write simple code using a programming language called Python. In this class, you will learn some fun concepts in Physics, Math, statistics, and, of course, programming. You will do this by solving problems numerically. You will learn to solve equations, do data analysis, and model various systems, among other techniques.

The class will be hosted in aperson for a small number of students. Those students will be able to come to the Berkeley campus and interact closely with the lectures. The rest will be able to join remotely and interact with the lectures via Zoom Webinar.

It is not necessary that you have any Physics or Calculus background. You will need some basic algebra.

If you are interested in participating in person, please fill out the application form by April 22, 2024. We will notify those accepted for in-person by May 15. If you are interested in participating remotely, you will be immediately accepted and allowed to join remotely.
