Intro to Python

Awarded to participants who completed MJC MESA's Summer 2026 "Intro to Python" mini workshop, a hands-on introduction to programming. Badge earners explored the five foundational building blocks of Python (variables, input, if/else, loops, and functions), read and traced the code behind a real working application — a Mini Music App that searches, plays, and ranks songs using the Deezer API — and completed at least one hands-on coding challenge to extend or customize the app in Google Colab.
