Held over 2 half days, this is an online workshop teaching the basics of Python.
When?
On Tuesday and Wednesday, 21 and 22 April 2026, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM NZ time on both days.
More about the workshop
Python is a versatile programming language widely used in the research community for tasks such as pre-/post-processing simulation results, data visualization, data science, machine learning, and task automation.
In this hands-on, virtual workshop, you will learn essential Python programming skills. We will focus on understanding basic Python syntax, writing simple code, and navigating third-party package documentation. Topics covered include:
• Python fundamentals: variables, strings, arrays, and dictionaries
• Reading, summarizing, and plotting tabular data
• Repeating actions with loops
• Creating functions
Note: This workshop will not cover debugging Python code or programming for performance.
Pre-requisites:
None. We welcome interest from all New Zealand based researchers.
This is a hands-on workshops and attendees will be expected to code along on our training platform. Details around access will be provided closer to the date of the workshop.
