Python for All: A Library Workshop for Bridging AI Literacy and Coding Skills
Abstract
In response to a growing, cross-disciplinary demand for individuals to develop
programming skills, libraries are expanding their educational offerings to provide
coding support for learners from diverse backgrounds. Teaching learners how to use
generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to code can enhance independent learning
via real-time assistance and debugging support. Here, we describe the design,
delivery, and assessment of a library workshop that teaches participants to leverage
AI chatbots for learning Python. Python for All: Democratizing Coding Mastery with
AI Chatbot Support combines AI literacy with practical coding skills to empower
participants to use AI tools effectively and ethically. Workshop materials are available
as open educational resources to support the democratization of coding education
