New page

*How was Python used in the research process?
**Data organization
**Took all our data from APT and converted it into tables
***All the data gathered from the sources was converted into manageable charts
***A single table with all the bands of photometry - Cull and Merge
Band merging
**Useful for implementing multiple applications
***Can do multiple steps/processes in one programs
**Used for making graphs - FWHM
**Used to create regions files

*Student affective responses to learning Python
**It challenged me to be more creative (coming up with ways to organize data) and detail oriented (coding so that the program runs)
**It was easy at first with simple coding for quick results, but then it got a bit more arduous as we had to recall more code and take on larger projects with more steps. That said, it was ultimately achievable and the challenges made for a fun experience.
**I liked the idea of being able to streamline our research process.
**It was great to learn coding by doing as a part of an ongoing project instead of learning through made up examples.

*Applications for high school-level research
**Can create and provide visual examples of experiments
***Python (Visual Python)
**Organizing large pools of data (perhaps from databases)
***Using organized data to create visually appealing graphs and charts
**Sorting data so that it is easily accessible and easy to read
**To help check math work
***Changes to calculations take only seconds to change within a program
**Can make formulas to aid any mathematical needs
**To combine multiple pools of data
**Write a program to do a repetitive task
**Programming can be used in almost any class where I student needs to cull, sort, and analyze a large pool of data

*Advice for teachers & policy makers (Ms. Booker)
**Start small (“Hello World”, Basic Math Operations)
**Code Academy
**Learn libraries specific to what you are doing (SciPy, NumPy, Visual)
**Integration of programming into all STEM-based classes
**Learn Excel programming if nothing else
