The workshop was conducted to introduce Python programming so that participants can understand and use ExpEYES instrument for scientific instrumentation. Most participants had never done any coding in their life, so workshop started from very basics but later the participants went on to perform numerical calculations as well as plotting complex mathematics equations. Participants showed great enthusiasm to learn and quickly learn concepts, owing to introduction of minimalistic Python style of defining a scientific problem.
