Interactive Visualizations, Web Development, and using AI for coding

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0200

In this third workshop you will produce interactive plots where you, for example, can select which dataset to display or what parameter to be used displayed on the x-/y-axes. You will make a request to an online database to access its data. Finally, you will create a webpage with interactive elements, and use AI for vibe code your programs.

Data Manipulation with Pandas and Basic Plotting

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0200

In this second workshop you will use functions from the popular functions package ›pandas‹ to work with and manipulate datasets such as an Excel table or a .csv file. You will load large datasets and get to know how to quickly and easily filter and select only parts from this dataset for further analyses or visualisations. You will apply conditional functions such as ›if this condition is fulfilled, do that, if not do something else‹. You will also learn how to create plots with the popular matplotlib package.

Introduction to Python and Jupyter Notebooks

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0200

In this first workshop you will learn how to work with and code in Jupyter notebooks, either in a browser or with its desktop version. You will use and apply your first Python functions, be able to import additional functions, and become able to build your own functions.
