Student Guide: Jupyter Notebook Activities and Project

Welcome! This guide will help you set up your environment, complete the activities, and work on the project exercises. Please follow the steps below carefully.

1. Setting Up Codespace for Jupyter Notebook

Prerequisites

A GitHub account.
Basic familiarity with using GitHub and Codespaces.

Steps to Create a Codespace

Open Repository: Navigate to this repository in your GitHub account.
Create Codespace: Click the Code button, select the Codespaces tab, and then click Create codespace on main.
Install Jupyter Notebook Extension:
- Once the Codespace is open, go to the Extensions view (on the sidebar, look for the square icon with four boxes).
- Search for Jupyter Notebook (developed by Microsoft) and install it.
Set Kernel to Python Environment:
- Open any .ipynb file from the repository in the Codespace.
- At the top-right corner of the Jupyter Notebook interface, click on the Kernel dropdown.
- Select the Python environment created in your Codespace (e.g., Python 3 (ipykernel)).
- This will ensure your notebooks are ready to run Python code.

2. Activities

Overview

Before diving into the project exercises, it's essential to complete the activities. These activities are designed to familiarize you with the basics of Jupyter Notebook and Matplotlib.

Available Activities

Basics of Jupyter Notebook: Learn how to navigate and write basic Python code in Jupyter Notebook.
- File: activities/1.1-basic-jupyter-notebook.ipynb
Introduction to Matplotlib: Explore Matplotlib and create basic visualizations.
- File: activities/1.2-using-matplotlib.ipynb

Steps to Complete Activities

Open the activity files from the activities folder in your Codespace.
Follow the instructions provided in the notebook cells.
Experiment with the examples and try out additional code as needed.

3. Exercises on Matplotlib

Overview

The src folder contains a set of exercises related to Matplotlib. These exercises build on the skills you developed in the activities and are meant to test your understanding and creativity.

Steps to Complete the Project

Open the src folder.
Carefully read the instructions for each exercise.
Complete the exercises by writing your solutions in the code cells provided.

4. Submitting Your Work

Submission Guidelines

Save your completed exercise files with solution in the src folder.
Ensure all cells are executed, and outputs are visible in the notebook.
Push your updated exercise files to the repository.

Goal

You do not have to be afraid of errors. Instead, feel free to make as many of them as possible in this codespace. You cannot go wrong, and if you do, you can always create a new, fresh codespace. The idea is for you to get familiar with the code and basics.

If you feel you are stuck, feel free to ask for help.
