The goal of this course is to provide participants with a practical introduction to Python programming. Learners will understand core concepts such as variables, data types, conditionals, loops, functions, and basic file handling, and apply them through hands-on exercises and mini projects.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to write simple programs independently and develop their own small projects with confidence.

- Beginners with no prior programming experience who want a structured and practical introduction
- Students and career starters in technical, scientific, creative, or digital fields
- Professionals from non-technical backgrounds who want to develop coding and digital skills
- Educators who would like to integrate programming fundamentals into their teaching
- Anyone interested in learning Python and building their first small software projects
