CodeBMB: Computational Literacy for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education
This virtual crash course is designed to introduce novices (with little or no coding experience) to a pedagogical foundation for coding, the Google Colab environment, GitHub, and the fundamentals of Python scripting.
After the webinar, users will be able to:
Understand how coding can contribute to student learning
Recognize and write basic Python scripts
Open and modify existing Colab notebooks to use in their courses.
