DESCRIPTION:The first session of the Python Introduction course\, organized
  by IEEE PES and the IEEE Student Branch of Escuela Politécnica Nacional\
 , took place on Wednesday\, July 2nd\, 2025\, at 8:30 PM in virtual format
 . This initial class focused on helping participants get started with Pyth
 on by covering two key topics: setting up the programming environment and 
 taking the first steps in writing Python code.\n\nThe session began with a
  complete walkthrough on how to install Python and configure Visual Studio
  Code (VS Code) as the main development environment. Participants learned 
 how to create and save .py files\, and how to run simple scripts from with
 in VS Code. This setup phase ensured that all students had a functional wo
 rkspace ready for programming.\n\nOnce the environment was ready\, the cla
 ss moved on to the basics of Python syntax and program structure. Students
  were introduced to the print() function to display messages on the screen
 \, and learned how to use comments with the # symbol to document their cod
 e. The importance of proper indentation was emphasized\, as it is essentia
 l for writing valid Python code. Example exercises included displaying wel
 come messages and performing basic arithmetic operations.\n\nBy the end of
  the session\, participants were able to write and run basic Python script
 s\, understood the purpose of comments\, and became familiar with navigati
 ng their development environment. This foundational knowledge provided a s
 trong starting point for the upcoming sessions and highlighted Python's si
 mplicity and readability\, making it an excellent choice for beginner prog
 rammers.\n\nSpeaker(s): Jorge\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.or
