The students have prepared projects based on the concepts presented at the course that are accessible at https://github.com/xfil/IHMT-PythonCourse-2023

According to the organizers, “the main objective of the course was to allow students to understand the functioning of the code and potential uses and applications of this programming language in different areas of research and to contribute to a greater knowledge in the area of information technologies and its interface with other areas of science”, they concluded.
