Collaborative Computer Science & coding lessons with creativity

Medini and Kalana recently explored Python's built-in libraries, including the `math`, `random`, `sys`, and `os` modules. Kalana actively practiced various functions from these libraries, gaining practical experience. Her assignment for the week is to design a random number guessing game, specifically utilizing the `random` module. The lesson concluded with plans to delve deeper into the `os` module and file operations in their next meeting.

Medini taught Kalana the principles of procedural-oriented programming in Python, specifically focusing on structuring code using functions and the essential `if __name__ == "__main__"` construct. Kalana actively practiced implementing this structure and gained an understanding of modules, packages, and libraries, including how to explore Python's built-in modules. Their next lesson is scheduled to delve further into packages and libraries, covering installation and providing hands-on practice.

Medini tutored a student from California State University, Bakersfield, in a lesson focused on simplifying mixed circuits and finding equivalent resistances. The learner honed their skills by reducing complex circuits to single equivalent resistances and calculating unknown resistance values using Ohm's Law. For homework, Medini assigned additional practice problems.

During a recent lesson, Medini and Kalana explored Python's argument passing methods, including positional, keyword, and default arguments, as well as global and local variables. Kalana gained practical experience with these concepts and will continue working through practice questions, with Medini preparing updated notes. Their upcoming lesson is set to cover procedure-oriented standard formats, modules, and packages.

A student from the University of the Pacific in Stockton reviewed R programming basics, covering variable types, data types, and the application of `class()` and `type of()` functions. The learner then practiced identifying data types and implementing both arithmetic and relational operators in R. The upcoming lesson is set to delve into logical, assignment, and miscellaneous operators, along with an introduction to vectors and modules like Plotly.

Medini taught GamerLP 3345 the basics of GUI creation in Python using the Tkinter library. They covered creating windows, labels, and buttons, and customizing their appearance and behavior. GamerLP 3345 practiced implementing these elements and explored the potential for creating simple games.
