In this class we will build a python program to determine where the International Space Station (ISS) is, when it is passing nearby, and who is currently in space using NASA and NORAD data!
Class experience
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...
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.
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.
1 file available upon enrollmentWe 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.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
