Loyola Marymount University — Code and Create: Building Your Own Innovative Apps with Python

LMU’s Code and Create combines computational thinking with hands-on creation. The first week develops Python fundamentals through mini-projects; the second applies them to a game, quiz app, interactive story or data-analysis tool while exploring AI-assisted development.
