Python Camp

Python Camp is a non-credit, hands-on, intensive mini-course offered by GW Libraries and Academic Innovation (LAI) for the GW community. Python Camp introduces foundational programming practice using the Python language, with a focus on building skill through both team-based activities and self-guided exercises. The aim is to expose participants to the core concepts of programming, while providing a sufficient foundation in Python syntax and programming patterns to allow participants to build upon their learning in other contexts.

Participation is free for members of the GW community, though application is required. Applications are due by September 21, 2026, and applicants will be notified approximately two weeks after the deadline. While we are not able to offer academic credit, participants who successfully complete Python Camp will receive a certificate of completion from LAI.

Participants should expect to spend at 4 hours a day learning together, and at least 1-2 hours per day doing self-guided homework. Additional assistance with homework is available throughout the Camp.

All sessions are free to GW students, faculty, and staff. GW has an institutional commitment to ensuring that all of our programs and events are accessible for all individuals. If you require any accommodations to participate in this event, please contact [email protected] at least 72 business hours (3 business days) prior to the event.
