Discover the role of Python in space exploration
This learning path introduces you to the world of Python. But the goal is not to learn Python, the goal is to understand how Python plays a role in the innovative solutions that NASA creates. Through the lens of space discovery, this learning path 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.
Through these modules, you will:
- Learn core programming concepts and apply them to real-life NASA problems
- Gain knowledge about cutting-edge technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence
- See actual NASA employees talk about their job and give advice
- Learn how to install the tools needed for local programming
