museum exhibit: teaching data science in 2024

I think this link will work: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kirbyurner/54152008669/sizes/h/ Goes to a large enough view of my screen, showing Google Colab, a public facing free interface, wherein I've just prompted its Gemini code assistant (AI) to plot a purple Bell Curve. It writes and explains the code. I've cut and pasted it verbatim into a code cell on the left for execution. The output is shown. Pretty nifty if you ask me. A lot of my content is open source should you wish to further explore a basic Python course as you would a museum exhibit or an archeological dig. Compare and contrast with 2050. You'll notice I'm dutifully passing on the Monty Python lore: https://nbviewer.org/github/4dsolutions/clarusway_data_analysis/blob/main/ba... Kirby

Good evening edu-siggers -- My apologies to anyone clicking the nbviewer.org link in my previous post and getting a 503 error. Apparently any given Github website is entitled to only so many nb views per time interval and mine went over. If still curious: https://github.com/4dsolutions/clarusway_data_analysis/blob/main/basic_pytho... was the Jupyter Notebook in question. Still under active development (I used it last night in my online class). My reason for viewing through nbviewer was it shows embedded YouTube thumbnails whereas Githubs own renderings of the same nbs do not. I was showing off how I'm "I'm dutifully passing on the Monty Python lore" by linking to the Dead Parrot skit, whereas the courseware has a slide packed with allusions to said skit. I tell students we're encouraged to allude to Monty Python skits from time to time in our Python teaching materials. Some of them will no doubt be teachers too in some capacity, so yes, we're passing the torch (Python PR is a long term interest). Some screen shots (not embedded in said sandbox): https://flic.kr/p/2qvkznL Likewise in Slack (what the school uses for internal communications): https://flic.kr/p/2qvkUnu Kirby On Tue, Nov 19, 2024 at 3:50 PM kirby urner <kirby.urner@gmail.com> wrote:
