Teen Science Cafe | Why every scientist needs to know how to code

October 21, 2022 @ 5:30 pm 7:00 pm

Join us for a discussion about the importance of data science not just as a concentration, but as a skill every scientist and engineer needs to develop. Participants will explore couple of questions using real data downloaded directly from NASA and other sources live on the planetarium dome.
