SUMMARY:CodeBMB Webinar for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:This four-hour virtual crash course is designed to introduce novices (with little or no coding experience) to a pedagogical foundation for coding\, the Google Colab environment\, GitHub\, and the fundamentals of Python scripting. \nCoding exercises will begin with variables\, loops\, and logic and will proceed to plotting and calculations based on linear and nonlinear regression curve fitting. You will leave the workshop with a linear regression exercise and you will know how to adapt to your class or lab settings. \nTo participate\, you will need a Gmail account in order to save Colab notebooks (emailed prior to webinar) to your Google drive and to create your own Colab notebooks. \nMeet the Instructors\nThe CodeBMB team consists of four faculty members with a variety of coding and instructional skills\, growing expertise in educational research and a deep commitment to making coding accessible to everyone in the life sciences. \n\nChris Berndsen\, James Madison University\nWally Novak\, Wabash College\nMike Foster\, Penn State\nPaul Craig\, RIT\n\nSkills Learned\nAfter the webinar\, users will be able to: \n\nUnderstand how coding can contribute to student learning\nRecognize and write basic Python scripts\nOpen and modify existing Colab notebooks to use in their courses.\n\nThe webinar is intended for: \n\nProfessional scientists in the biosciences from academia and industry starting to code\nPost-docs and graduate students who want to bring coding into their learning environments\nInstructors involved in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education\n\nEvent Details\nCodeBMB: Computational Literacy for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education will take place \nThursday April 30\, 2026\n1pm – 5pm Eastern | 10am – 11am Pacific \nPlease register here for this free event. An institutional email address for registration is preferred.\nYou will receive confirmation and a Zoom link by email before the event. \nParticipants may also be interested in recordings of past training events\, including Python Scripting for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Part 1 and Part 2\, and the 2024 course\, Python Scripting for Molecular Docking.
