In this course, we will use live NASA and NORAD data to gather live information on the International Space Station (ISS), and figure out where the ISS, who is in space, and when it is passing overhead. We will build the program collaboratively, and discuss programming and data concepts in python as we go. This class is best for students with some background in python or programming. Students should understand lists, loops and dictionaries, and although we will be covering these concepts briefly, having some background will help engage with the material. As a group, we will build and test the script, and then make sure it works. Students will all get a copy of the code and this can be used as the basis for other connected data projects in python and beyond.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to call an API (an Application Programming Interface) and download data into their programs. From there, we will build strings to print out a message with the ISS data.Students will learn about APIs, data, dictionaries, and other features of python.Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class uses the Python programming language. In this class we go through the steps to build a program, students do not need to install anything on their computers as the class is a demonstration/lecture that students will be able to learn from and expand on later on their own with the appropriate software.
Supply List
We will build the program and test it together, students will receive a copy of the script at the end of class. Python and an editor (like Geany or Sublime Text) and free to download and install, but not required for this class. This class uses the Python programming language. In this class we go through the steps to build a program, students do not need to install anything on their computers as the class is a demonstration/lecture that students will be able to learn from and expand on later on their own with the appropriate software.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love teaching programming using fun and interesting examples because it helps students go farther than learning hard to contextualize concepts. Understanding what we are doing and why means that students will be able to apply algebraic concepts (like x+y) having understood examples like (red bike + blue bike) in a way that has context and meaning.
