This repository contains files that are used for an introductory course in Python that is conducted by the Issaquah Robotics Society (IRS), a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team based at Issaquah High School in Issaquah Washington.
The course is divided into multiple sessions, each of which covers only a few topics. There is a Google Slides presentation for every session. Click on this link for an overview.
Participants who complete this course will be able to:
- Revise, extend, maintain, and operate the IRS’s scouting system
- Analyze FRC data and present results
- Use Python for other scientific or engineering projects
Prerequisites
- None
Necessary materials
- Laptop, pPreferably Windows 10 because that’s what the instructor uses but any operating system should work
- No books needed -- all necessary reference materials are online
Instructional method
- Keep lectures to a minimum
- Show participants the online references and provide just enough information to start working on the coding exercises
- Provide hints and encouragement when participants get stuck
