Event Description
Python Event IV focuses on one of the most important transitions in learning Python: moving from small code snippets to organized, reusable programs. In this live session, you’ll learn how Python functions help structure code, reduce repetition, and make programs easier to read and maintain.
Rather than writing everything in one long script, you’ll see how functions allow you to group related logic into meaningful blocks. This approach mirrors how real-world Python applications are written and is a key step toward building larger, more practical programs.
This event connects all prior Python concepts—variables, decisions, and loops—into a cleaner, more professional programming style. It also prepares you for longer Python sessions where full programs and workflows are built step by step.
Topic Areas
Topic 1: Why Organization Matters in Python
Learn how unstructured code becomes difficult to manage and how functions create clarity and maintainability. We’ll discuss real-world examples where organization saves time and prevents errors.
Topic 2: Core Function Concepts
Explore how Python functions are defined, how they receive input, and how they return results. The focus is on understanding how functions work—not memorizing syntax.
Topic 3: Live Refactoring Demonstration
Watch as a simple Python script is improved by organizing repeated logic into functions. This demonstration shows how small changes dramatically improve readability and usability.
Who This Event Is For

Other Python Events
This 1-hour event introduces foundational program structure.
Additional Python events build on this by covering:
Passing data between functions
Organizing programs across multiple files
Working with real data sources
Building complete, end-to-end Python solutions
Python Event IV represents a major milestone in moving from basic scripting to real-world Python programming.
