can come and ask coding questions and get extra help if needed. The students in the
program are introduced to fundamentals of programming, data collection, and data
analysis in Python, covering topics such as variables, data structures, functions, the

learning principles. These are also the areas that the TA must be able to help with in the
Coding Café.

programming language Python, with programmatically collecting online digital traces
