Maker Lab Assignment: Programming and Data Analysis: Python Exercises

Before the Maker Lab students begin the open inquiry phases, they first learn and practice some important skills, supported by small assignments.

In this assignment they are tasked with using a worksheet in Jupyter Notebook and the Python programming language for data analysis and visualization and uncertainty analysis of a provided data set. The analyzed data set is generated quickly via an online survey completed by all students.

Note: If you do not (yet) have Jupyter Notebook, you cannot fully utilize the .ipynb file. But the attached PDF will give an idea of its content and functionality.
