About this Series
For our first month in the Code Garden, Renee will be playing with Python basics. She'll talk you through everything you need to know to get started on your Python journey!

In Week 1 she'll be working with variables, strings and integers.
In week 2 she'll play making decisions in Python using if statements.
In week 3 she'll take on looping, and show you how to make your code repeat itself to get more done!

This Episode
We'll handle the very basics of Python (which can be the biggest hurdle to getting coding).

We'll be taking a look at how to store different types of data, like strings and integers using variables. We'll also learn how to ask for information from the user and then explore a few ways to display it.
