The urgency of climate change and the complexity of its data has highlighted an acute need for competent analysis skills. Understanding the details of our changing climate requires expertise that can analyze and interpret large and varied data. This chapter introduces an innovative Python-based course, designed for high school and freshman college students, to address this pressing need. The course aims to equip students with the necessary computational skills, and to foster an understanding of climate change and its far-reaching impact. The goal is to educate a generation of informed, skilled individuals who can contribute significantly to climate science and environmental policy.
