An introduction to some terminological features of DFT without programming knowledge is readily available to students through this work. Beginning researchers who plan on using DFT themselves or effectively communicating with computational collaborators will also find motivation here. The novelty of our approach by comparison with the existing pedagogic materials lies in the lack of an external potential and analytic basis functions, which require integral coding routines that are not pertinent to the essence of DFT as it relates to self-consistent density optimization. After engaging with the material, more advanced subjects such as the strategies of functional design and Janak's theorem can be explored with reference to the review articles listed here. For an undergraduate course with limited time and instructor knowledge, Notebook 1 alone can be used to complement discussions about the 3D PIB wavefunction structure and energy levels. Graduate special topics courses, on the other hand, could forgo Notebooks 1 and 2 and focus exclusively on DFT in Notebook 3 as an electronic structure method. Modifications of this code could include an approach to calculate exact exchange, therefore permitting evaluation of higher rungs of Jacob's ladder. A
