Reactor Topic	Data Science and Machine Learning
Workshop Duration	60 min
Title	Introduction to Python for space exploration
Description	In this workshop we explore how Python plays a role in the innovative solutions that NASA creates. Through the lens of space discovery, this workshop could ignite a passion to persistently learn, discover, and create so that you too can one day help us all understand a little more about the world beyond our Earth. We'll start with an introduction to the types of space exploration problems that Python and data science can influence, then install the tools we need for development, and write some basic Python in Visual Studio Code. If you'd like to follow along, we'll be going through this content on Microsoft Learn: https://aka.ms/PythoninSpace-2.
Content	https://aka.ms/SpacewithPython-8 modules 1-3

Dates Run: Dec 8-9, 2021

Here's an overview of what this workshop will cover and suggested agenda to follow with links and resources.

Content to teach

This workshop will take Reactor community members through modules 1, 2, and 3 of the Microsoft Learn path: Discover the role of Python in Space Exploration

SHARE THIS LINK WITH REACTOR ATTENDEES: https://aka.ms/SpacewithPython-8

Encourage attendees to go through the modules with you and complete it. Also encourage them to rate the module at the end.

Agenda

1. Intro/Overview 5 min
   • Welcome community members
   • Provide overview of content to be covered
   • Show the learning path
   • Encourage community members to complete and rate the modules as they go along
2. Introduction to Python for space exploration 10-15 min
   • Talk about the opportunities of the Artemis program
   • Dive into STEM through opportunities of NASA
   • Use code and data science practices to solve space exploration problems
   • Go over the knowledge check questions, giving attendees a moment to answer on their own
3. Install coding tools for Python 10-15 min
   • Install VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/Download

   • View results of variables and expressions
   • Walk through knowledge check questions
5. Next steps 2 min
   • Encourage attendees to complete the 2 remaining modules in the learning path so they can get a trophy, and learn more about Python through the lens of space exploration 😄
   • Let attendees know that next week's workshop will cover using machine learning to predict rocket launch delays and it will build off of what was covered in this weeks workshop
6. Closing 5 min
