Coding for Medicine - Level 1

This hands on module introduces you to the Python programming language through a series of problem solving exercises. It is designed for those without any prior coding experience.

Overview

In this introductory coding camp, you will -

  • - help mushroom hunters stay away from poisonous mushrooms,
  • - learn to identify living organisms from their sequences and be introduced to the 'google' for DNA data,
  • - code in Python programming language,
  • - see how coding helps in modern biology and medicine,
  • - develop computer algorithms to analyze DNA and protein sequences.

Prerequisites

None. Limited to advanced middle schoolers and high schoolers.
