Python After School Program: Programming Courses for High School Students in NYC

Note: This course is not currently being offered this year. However, students interested in learning more about data science should consider NextGen Bootcamp’s Python Data Science Summer Program Live Online or Python Data Science Summer Camp NYC. Nextgen Bootcamp also offers a FinTech Summer Live Online Program for students looking to learn Python for finance and investing.

This course will cover the fundamentals of Python programming and its uses for data science. Students will get up and running in Python quickly and be ready to use Python for data analysis projects.

Python is the leading language used by programmers today! It is the ideal language for beginners because it's both powerful and easy to learn.

In the first half of this hands-on Python course, you will begin by learning the fundamentals of Python code and then transition into more complicated programming tasks. The second half of the course focuses primarily on data science using Pandas, Matplotlib, and Sci-Kit learn. These packages will teach you how to input, analyze, and graph data.
