GIMP Version: 2.8.14

I'm learning Gimp for a web development class and it's requiring a plug in to be added

Even though I have gimp 2.8 the only thing i've found is

C:\Program Files\GIMP 2

but within that I have no plug-in folder.

Where do I put my .py?

Welcome Pdsnowden - your plug-in should not be placed in Program Files, but in your GIMP user folders as follows -

users>user-name>.gimp-2.x>plug-ins

To find your plugin folders: Edit>Preferences>Folders>Plugins

Normally, two directories are listed, one somewhere in the Gimp installation tree ("C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\...") and one in your user file space ("C:\Users\{your-id}\.gimp-2.8\...") better use that last one.
