Why Code in Python with Vernier Sensors
Unleash the power of Vernier Technology and Python in your computer science, engineering, or science classroom. Give students the opportunity to code beyond the screen by integrating sensor data collection into their activities.
Benefits
- Students form a deeper understanding of the importance of coding when they see their code interact with sensor data.
- Students get the Python experience needed to expand coding skills and prepare for advanced computer science courses and future careers.
- Sensor data helps students learn to plot graphs, create lists, share data, analyze data, visualize data, and much more.
Python and Go Direct® Sensors
We have created a getting started guide and examples that make it easy to start using our Go Direct family of sensors with Python. This includes USB or Bluetooth wireless support for Windows® 10, macOS®, and Linux.
Web VPython with Go Direct Sensors
We have created a guide and examples that make it easy to start using our Go Direct family of sensors with Web VPython via USB or Bluetooth wireless technology. Web VPython requires no software installation. Additionally, Go Direct sensors are compatible with a Chrome browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebooks.
Python and LabQuest® Sensors
Your students can communicate in Python to LabQuest sensors that are connected to LabQuest® – combining a powerful data acquisition device and sensor input with Python. Includes support for Windows® 10 and macOS®.
