This activity will show the sorting process using the Merge Sort Divide and Conquer algorithm that is used by a computer when sorting data without using a computer.

This lesson is used to show how conditionals can help filter a dataset. This lesson uses python and a large csv file of Netflix Content to filter through PG-13 movies and output recommendations based on user genre choce. This lesson can be taught using any python IDE and intended to be a live programming demonstration with students. Students will then extend this concept using a dataset of their own choice or other datasets given to them to explore.

This activity will show the sorting process using the Quick Sort Divide and Conquer algorithm that is used by a computer when sorting data without using a computer.

This lesson introduces 9-12 grade students to the tuple data type using Python. Students will learn what tuples are and how to create and use them.

What is Random? Through this project, students will discover what makes an outcome random. Emphasis will be placed on the difference between deterministic and nondeterministic outcomes.  The project starts out with a discovery activity where students will see the difference between creating data with a coin toss where they just make up the data and creating data through actually tossing a coin.Students will end the project by studying pseudorandom number generators, specifically the Middle Squared Algorithm. They will even create a program that uses this algorithm.  Enjoy!
