# Eligibility and Requirements

## What do you need to know before you come?

**Everyone is welcome to our Python workshops, and no prior knowledge of Python is required for the first session. However, the subsequent sessions build upon the previous ones, and the concepts are sequentially related. If you happen to miss a session, don't worry; we provide video tutorials. We strongly recommend watching the videos of the previous sessions you may have missed to have a better understanding of the running sessions**

**We encourage the following:**

1. **Be prepared:** Be ready and able to involve yourself in learning.
2. **Engage:** Actively participate in the community and course materials.
3. **Think critically:** Analyse materials presented to form reasonable judgements\*.
4. **Respect others:** Listen to and be considerate of others
