For Day 2 of the Creative Coding Camp we'll be using Python and CodeSkulptor3, so here are some examples I created.

We'll start with Python basics, which is just text-based programs, but then we'll use the simpleplot and simplemap libraries, I also am linking them to some Open KC and Open KS data so they could plot - for instance - school funding per pupil per USD#, or plot a map of potholes reported in KC.

This is gonna be really cool!!

How much computing power would you have needed circa 2022 to compute 10^28 sums of seven integers? The sums were in the range of 1 million to 100 million so 4 bytes each would be enough. Just the storage space would be a tough problem unless you created some kind of summary table.

Was this the kind of thing you needed to rent time on a cluster for?

For students in grades 10 to 13 in UK schools who are interested in #math and #physics , there is COMPOS, essentially an online STEM club organized by the Uni of Oxford, targeted at students whose school only offers sports clubs. It is in the process of being extended to also cover #biology #chemistry and #computerScience . Registration is open until 28 September. compos.web.ox.ac.uk/

> #Quantum #factorization is performed using sleight-of-hand numbers that have been selected to make them very easy to factorize using a #physics experiment
