Recommended Level: High School and Up with an Aptitude for Algebra
Do you or your kids have interests in meteorology, microelectronics, science, computers, data, artificial intelligence, or machine learning?
I am releasing free micro-tutorials to increase students interests in these topic areas.
The micro-tutorials will employ a tool called a Jupyter Notebook. Jupyter Notebooks are documents used by data scientists and students to learn how to code and do all sorts of fun things with data. Check out the video.
