Q: 2. Is any programming or CS background required to succeed in this course?

No prior experience in programming is needed—it’s a beginner-level course with no prerequisites. A basic understanding of fundamental mathematics (middle school level) is assumed. Emphasis is placed on developing computational thinking and problem-solving skills , not just syntax delivery. You'll learn fundamental constructs such as variables, conditionals, loops, data structures (lists, tuples, dictionaries), functions, debugging, and file reading—progressing gradually each week. If you're comfortable with basic logic and math, you're fully equipped to start and succeed.
