    How It Works:

    • Course Access: Each course requires a unique access code to enter. If your program includes the intermediate series courses, you must complete the required introductory courses before moving on to the intermediate courses.
    • Course Structure: Each course contains a mixture of lecture videos, short check-in quizzes, and/or Python practice problems, with occasional supplementary material. For the videos that provide Python practice problems, you are encouraged to try to solve the problem on your own first and/or follow along before a solution is provided.

    Required Free Materials:

    • Python programs such as Google Colab or Python (version 3.0 or newer).
        • Google Colab can be accessed through your web browser using a Gmail/Google Suite account (no download required, but syntax may differ slightly from the actual Python program).
