Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to create a Jupyter notebook that is educational, motivating and fun for a high school junior (age 16 or 17) or senior (age 17 or 18) who is learning about Data Science. You may assume that this high school student is familiar with the basics of Python, Jupyter Notebooks, high school geometry and high school algebra.

Jupyter Notebook Requirements

Create a single Jupyter Notebook that contains all of the following:

1. Design a 10-point assignment that requires understanding the key content from your assigned chapter. The assignment should be well-written, educational, fun, motivating and take a high school student around 2 hours to solve.
2. Provide a solution to your assignment that includes explanations.
3. Introduce and explain bonus material that is relevant to your chapter. For example, if you were assigned Chapter 7, there are plenty of additional types of visualizations.
4. Design a 5-point bonus assignment that requires understanding the bonus material you introduced. The assignment should be well-written, educational, fun, motivating and take a high school student at least 30 minutes to solve.
5. Provide a solution to your bonus assignment that includes explanations.

Take a look at some of the homeworks on this page to see what a 10-point assignment might look like.

30-Minute Presentation Requirements

• First 20 Minutes: Present your Jupyter notebook. Each teammate should present for roughly 10 minutes.
• Final 10 minutes: Answer questions from the class.
• Assume that the audience consists of high school teachers who will teach an Introduction to Data Science course. These teachers are deciding whether to incorporate your team's assignment into their class. Your presentation should convince them that the answer is yes!
• Although half of the teams will present on Thursday and the other half on Friday, all teams should be prepared to present on Thursday.
