This lesson introduces biotech students to Python programming, guiding them to import, process, and analyze data while learning basic coding concepts and writing simple programs to summarize datasets.
This project translates complex research in statistical mechanics and AI from the Rotskoff Group at Stanford into accessible, hands-on learning experiences for high school students.
Students will explore cybersecurity and the vulnerabilities equity process (VEP) to learn how the government uses information acquired for cybersecurity purposes.
Inspired by my work with cybersecurity company, Palo Alto Networks, this lesson centers on how data moves through networks. It touches on Newton’s discovery of the color spectrum, the capture of the German Enigma coding machine during World War II, cryptography, and modern ASCII code.
Blockchain: animated tutorial is a team project for a computer science course. Students, in a small team setting, research blockchain technology: what it is and how it works; then produce animated tutorial videos that explain blockchain.
Students are introduced to the project and given time to brainstorm ideas for their apps. During this lesson, students will begin creating an app using Systems Thinking Habits, creating paper prototypes, and participating in a Gallery Walk to provide feedback and user testing to other groups.
The K-12 STEM Education and Outreach Program is part of the Government and Community Relations Office at Berkeley Labs.
‘Coding a Math Equation’ is an activity to expose students to math equations, coding concepts, coding pre-work and a block-based visual programming language; scratch.
Python is commonly used for processing and visualizing large amounts of data.
