• Variables are places where you can store data.
  • You can think about a variable as a 'Box' with a name.
  • Suppose we name a box therapy_dog, then this 'box' can store data related to therapy dog.
  • Lets use Epcot as an example. Epcot is Virginia Tech's newest therapy dog!
  • The variable's name is therapy_dog, and the data will be 'Epcot'.
  • In Python, you can't have spaces in variable names. We use underscores instead like in therapy_dog.
