🐍 Python-Powered GIS | Day 2: Why Python for Geospatial Applications + Python Basics

In Day 1, we explored the world of Remote Sensing. Now it's time to bring in our primary tool — Python!

In this session, you will learn:
✅ Why Python is the go-to language for GIS and remote sensing workflows
✅ How Python compares to traditional GIS software like QGIS and ArcGIS
✅ How to download satellite data from the USGS Earth Explorer
✅ Core Python basics — variables, data types, loops, and functions — explained for complete beginners

No coding experience needed. We start from scratch!
