    Just starting my journey into the tech space and join TechBio has been a wonderful experience. Techbio really gave beginners friendly coaching which I'm sure would make all student have the courage to delve more into tech. I would say our first project was a bit tasking but that is definitely because most out the students are just starting but I believe with time and constant practice we will become part of the best in the tech space. Faced little challenges like wrong indentation which make the code not run but with patience and the level of debugging I have gotten from TechBio I was able to overcome. What a wonderful experience and I would love to learn and grow more....All Thanks to God and TechBio.

    Reflecting on My Python Learning Journey with TechBio I am thrilled to share the key takeaways from my recent completion of the Python Fundamentals course, which culminated in a practical project on BMI Classification. Here are some highlights of my journey: During the course, I deepened my understanding of core Python concepts, including data types, control structures, functions, and error handling. One of the most valuable aspects was learning how to structure and organize code for readability and maintainability. I also gained hands-on experience with basic debugging techniques and best practices for writing clean, efficient code. For my final project, I developed a BMI Classification program. This program prompts users to input their height and weight, calculates their Body Mass Index (BMI), and classifies the result into standard categories such as Underweight, Normal weight, Overweight, and Obesity. The classification is based on well-defined medical guidelines, ensuring that users receive accurate information about their BMI status. Throughout the project, I encountered several challenges that significantly enhanced my Python skills: Mathematical Calculations: Ensuring that the BMI calculations were accurate and properly implemented was a key challenge. This required a good understanding of arithmetic operations and input validation. Error Handling: Implementing robust error handling to manage invalid user inputs helped me appreciate the importance of making code user-friendly and resilient. Function Design: Learning to write modular code with functions that are reusable and maintainable was a critical takeaway. It improved the overall structure and readability of my project. By overcoming these challenges, I have gained a stronger grasp of Python programming and feel more confident in my ability to tackle complex coding tasks. This project was a rewarding experience that solidified my understanding of how to apply Python in practical, real-world situations. Thank you to TechBio for providing such a comprehensive and engaging course. I look forward to applying these skills in future projects and continuing my journey in programming. #Python #LearningJourney #TechBio #BMIClassification #Programming #Coding #Education

    I am really flattered and privileged to share that I have successfully completed the first part of a 6-week python basic program organised by TechBio foundation, a virgin company committed to ensuring that young scientists acquire the desired skills necessary for this more evolving technology era and BioTech sector. Coding is crucial in bioinformatics as it enables the analysis and interpretation of vast biological data. It helps in automating tasks like DNA sequence alignment, gene expression analysis, and protein structure prediction. With coding, researchers can develop algorithms to identify patterns, model biological systems, and manage large datasets efficiently, driving advancements in genomics, personalized medicine, and drug discovery. At the end of the program, we all indulged in different projects, where I work on creating a program that will analyse DNA sequences and calculate the frequency simultaneously and scrutinize the motifs. At first I was a whole bunch of enigma because I don't know where and how to start but at the end of the day, I was all a success and I want to thank TechBio immensely for this opportunity of hands on skills necessary on python programming..... #Techbio #cell_biology_genetics #university_of_Lagos

    🌟 Excited to Share My Journey in Data Science and Biology! 🌟 I am thrilled to announce the completion of the first phase of a Data Science course hosted by TechBio , led by the exceptional instructor Adejuwon Adegite . This phase focused on mastering the fundamentals of Python programming, and I had the opportunity to work on a project that showcased the synergy between data science and molecular biology: Project: DNA Sequence Analyzer This project was designed to process and analyze DNA sequences—highlighting how computational tools can unlock deeper insights in biology. During the project, I developed a program that validated DNA sequences to ensure they only contained the nucleotides 'A', 'T', 'C', and 'G'. I then calculated the frequency of each nucleotide, searched for specific motifs within the sequences, and computed the reverse complement of the DNA strands. Finally, I implemented error handling to manage invalid inputs and ensured that all results were saved to a file for further analysis. By combining programming with biology, this project emphasized the importance of data science in addressing complex biological questions, such as genetic sequence analysis and the identification of patterns within DNA. It reinforced the value of computational methods in advancing research and diagnostics in molecular biology. Balancing this challenging course with my internship pushed me to grow both professionally and personally. I’m proud to have completed this phase and am excited to apply these skills to real-world problems, especially those at the intersection of data science and biology. Looking forward to taking on new challenges and making an impact! 🚀 #DataScience #PythonProgramming #MolecularBiology #Techbio #DNAAnalyzer
