Students will learn how powerful these simple looking snippets of Python code can be. Initially, students will be exposed to Excel spreadsheets and Access databases to demonstrate how powerful data analysis can be. Students will get a handle on how data can be presented and analyzed on a smaller scale using some Excel formulas and Access queries.
