Python Basics + AI Agents — Pre-Al Amal 18

Volunteer workshop · August 2026

A free, hands-on workshop for geoscience graduates with no programming background: from your very first print() statement to reading, checking and fixing code written by an AI agent. Everything is run live in Google Colab, so nothing needs to be installed to follow along.

Part 1 — Python Basics

Part 2 — Python & Agentic Coding

Normal coding · vibe coding · agentic coding with OpenCode. One real well-logging task — computing net pay from raw logs — carried through all three ways of producing code, ending with the question the whole session turns on: who is responsible for the final number?

Materials

Part 1 — Python Basics

• Slides — Python Basics: From Your First Line of Code to AI Coding (PDF)
  The full deck used in the lecture.

• Companion notebook (Jupyter / Colab)
  Every example from the lecture as a runnable cell, using geoscience data.
  Open it directly in Google Colab — no installation needed.

Part 2 — Python & Agentic Coding

• Slides — Python & Agentic Coding: Normal · Vibe · Agentic (PDF)
  The full deck used in the second lecture.

• Working notebook (Jupyter / Colab)
  The well-logging analysis worked step by step — reading a LAS file, cleaning nulls, shale volume, porosity, water saturation, and net pay.
  Open it directly in Google Colab. It reads its data from a folder named Well_logging in your own Google Drive — create it and upload the well files shared during the session before running the notebook.

Both parts

• OpenCode on Windows — the easy, step-by-step picture guide (PDF)
  Take-home manual for installing an AI coding agent and pointing it at your own files.
