This is the Programming for STEM Teachers Workshop repository. This is intended for people (mainly teachers) who are not familiar with programming at any level. The hope is that through this workshop we are able to enable STEM teachers with basic knowledge on Google Colab and Python such that they can further develop and complement their class with programming in any way.
Session #1
- Intro to Markdown

Nothing :D
All you need is a gmail account (and sometimes maybe not even that!)
If you want to gather more information about what a notebook is then you might be interested in reading about what Jupyter is.
To begin with this workshop it is recommended that you look at the First notebook to learn about the implementations of Markdown, LaTeX and Python inside Google Colab's version of a Jupyter Notebook.
When opening the notebook just click the 
found on top of the file and you will instantly open the document online.
Recommendation MAKE A COPY BEFORE YOU START EDITING IT
Go to File --> Save a copy in Drive
With Binder you don't have to worry about having a google account. Just click on the badge below and a JupyterLab session will open on your browser.
Two methods
-
You can install the Anaconda distribution for python which is filled with all the packages you will need. Recommended method
-
Or you can manually install Jupyter Notebooks in your computer along with some basic packages as mentioned below. Follow these instructions to install Jupyter
You must have python installed in your computer for Jupyter to work
If you have a command line with bash you can have a local copy of all the files that will be used in the workshop
Just do the following
you can copy by either ctrl-Shift-C or simply by selecting the lines. You can paste in the command line by ctrl-Shift-V , Shift-Ins or right-click
cd
git clone https://github.com/GuillermoFidalgo/Python-for-STEM-Teachers-Workshop.git
cd Python-for-STEM-Teachers-Workshop/From here you can run all the notebooks used in this workshop.
