This first Python project is an interactive story that teaches students good classroom norms. The story is written as a series of functions that are called to tell blocks of the story. This demonstrates the way professionals write programs. Accompany Chautauqua on her journey through the making of her own story by clicking the picture above.

System Solver 2.0 is a program meant to guide students through the process of solving a system of equations in Algebra. The program works with simple non-parallel systems with real number solutions and shows the process step by step. The code showcases the use of functions, inputs, variables, and basic lists.

Python can be used to manipulate images in interesting ways. The image on the left is the original. The middle image was manipulated a code-level using the Python NumPy package to identify gold pixels and swap their color values to produce purple. The code is clever enough to leave the green background untouched! The final image was created using Python's PIL library. Earth was added in the corner! To download the raw code, click here.
